The song Let It Be by The Beatles is composed of three parts with two verses and a chorus each one.

The structure of the lyrics is simple:

Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 3

Part 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 is be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Part 2

And when the brokenhearted 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

Part 3

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on ’til tomorrow
Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, yeah

Let it be, Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Oh, there will be an answer
Let it be
