Lyrics
When I find myself in times of trouble
During difficult times
Mother Mary comes to me
Metaphorical reference to Mother Mary providing comfort
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Mother Mary imparts wise advice: "let it be"
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
In moments of darkness, Mother Mary is a comforting presence
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Reiteration of Mother Mary's wisdom
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,
Repeated emphasis on letting things be, accompanied by words of wisdom
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
-And when the broken hearted people
Reference to people facing heartbreak
Living in the world agree
Suggests a universal agreement among people in the world
There will be an answer, let it be.
Confident declaration of an answer in difficult times
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
Even if separated, a chance for reconciliation and understanding
There will be an answer, let it be.
Repetition of the assurance of an answer
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,
Reiteration of the presence of an answer in challenging situations
There will be an answer, let it be.
-And when the night is cloudy
During cloudy or uncertain times
There is still a light that shines on me
A metaphorical light that provides guidance
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
Hope for a brighter future, encouraging perseverance
I wake up to the sound of music
Transition to waking up with the sound of music, a positive experience
Mother Mary comes to me
Recurrence of Mother Mary bringing wisdom
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Reiteration of the advice to "let it be"
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,
Final reassurance of an answer and the importance of letting things be
There will be an answer, let it be.
