Let it be – The Beatles

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.
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. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on 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.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

When you lose someone very dear to you, you may often find yourself asking why and what you have done to deserve such pain.  You may even go through a wide range of emotions in coming in to terms with the loss.  It’s all a natural part of grieving.  Acceptance will come later than sooner.

If you know someone who is going through the same ordeal, sometimes, funeral flowers can offer some comfort.  But funeral songs, on the other hand, can bring a bigger sense of peace and healing to someone grieving the loss of a loved one.

One of the most comforting songs you can dedicate to a grieving friend or loved one would be The Beatles’ “Let it be”.  The song was written by Paul McCartney and was inspired by his dream of his mother (who died when he was 14) during the toughest time in his life.  In his dream, his mother came to him, speaking words of wisdom.  The dream brought McCartney much peace and solace that he was inspired to write the song.

The song talks about accepting things as they are and moving on with life.  It’s also about realizing that things will eventually fall into place soon.
