Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mattie comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Verse 2]
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Chorus]
Yeah, let it be, oh, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Chorus]
And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Verse 3]
And though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they might see
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Chorus]
Ah, let it be, let it be
Lord, let it be, Lord, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Lord, let it be
[Outro]
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Let it be
