Let It Be
Embracing Wisdom: The Meaning Behind Katie Stevens' "Let It Be
Lyrics
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
During difficult times, the singer turns to Mother Mary for comfort.
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Mother Mary imparts wise advice, encouraging acceptance and peace ("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 reassuring presence for the singer.
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Continued wisdom from Mother Mary, emphasizing the importance of letting things be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Repetition of the mantra "let it be," emphasizing the central theme of acceptance.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
-And when the brokenhearted people living in the world agree,
When people facing heartbreak find common ground, there is hope for a positive resolution.
there will be an answer, let it be.
Unity among brokenhearted individuals brings the promise of solutions ("there will be an answer").
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
Even if separated, there is optimism that understanding and resolution can prevail.
there will be an answer. let it be.
Reiterating the belief in finding answers and solutions through acceptance ("let it be").
Let it be, let it be
Repetition of the central message, reinforcing the importance of letting things be.
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
During challenging times ("night is cloudy"), there is a metaphorical light that guides the singer.
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
Emphasizing the enduring nature of this guiding light and the importance of acceptance ("let it be").
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
Upon waking, the singer is comforted by Mother Mary's wisdom and the call to "let it be."
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Continued guidance and wisdom from Mother Mary for the challenges of a new day.
Let it be, let it be
Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing the power and importance of letting things be.
