  1. 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, .....

    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.

    When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
    speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    (So I'm sitting in my chair, with a troubled mind, contemplating on whether I should live or die, there appears a middle aged woman, apparantly named "Mary", and she says, 'Let it be.'. And I find those words to be the words of wisdom.)

    And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
    speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    (I turn off the light and try to go to sleep, but I can't fall a sleep coz my mind is spinning at 300 RPM, and suddenly she appears again and says, 'Let it be.')

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

    (What does it mean? 'Let it be.'? 'Let it be.'? Let it be.'? Oh...! LET IT BE! So fucking true, I've got to let everything just be!)
     
  5. And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
    there will be an answer, let it be.

    (A bunch of broken hearted people, including myself, got together and agreed, that there will be an answer. And the answer is, '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.

    (For those of you who have parted with your loved ones, there will be a day when you will see your loved ones again, but for the moment, you've got to just let it be...)

    Let it be, let it be, .....

    (Let it be... Put your worries down for a moment, and just let it be...)

    And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
    shine until tomorrow, let it be.

    (Although the day is done, it's not the end of the world, you know? The sun will rise again, and so will you.)

    I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
    speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

    (And when you wake up in the morning, that strange middle aged woman named Mary will still be here to help you with her wisdom... so for tonight, you just relax and let it be...)
     
  6. The song is about Paul's mom, Mary, who died when Paul was young. He had a dream about her and in the dream she said: "Just let it be."
