"Let It Be" by the Beatles (Let It Be, 1970)

Let It Be

~~*~~

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Yeah, there will be an answer

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

I will spare everyone yet another

disquisition on the Beatles' greatness,

their massive cultural influence,

the legends and stories about the members.

I can tell you, from a very personal standpoint,

that this song, now more than half a century old,

has never been off my Lifetime Top Ten,

arguably never going lower than 3,

if even that.

It's perfection, as powerful

and as moving as anything

Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach created.

It has served as a guiding light, as it were,

for a long and difficult life.

For my life.

I hope it has been as beautifully moving and inspiring

to and for you.
