Let It Be

Beatles · Anthology 3

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 it 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, 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, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
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

Released as part of the Beatles' Anthology 3 collection, "Let It Be" stands as a definitive example of the group's late-period songwriting and vocal harmonies. The track captures the band's evolving sound during the early 1970s, blending acoustic guitar foundations with lush orchestral arrangements that characterize their final studio recordings. As a staple of their discography, the song reflects the band's enduring ability to craft emotionally resonant material, even as their public image shifted in the years following their breakup. Its inclusion in the Anthology series highlights its status as a cornerstone of their catalog, offering listeners a glimpse into the musical maturity achieved by John, Paul, George, and Ringo in their later years.
