[Verse 1]
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be, 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

[Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be

[Verse 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 may see
There will be an answer
Let it be, let it be

[Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be, let it be

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until the morning
Let it be, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary, she comes to me, she said
Daughter, let it be, let it be
Oh, let it be

Let it be, let it be, Lord, let it be,yeah let it be
There will be an answer, let it be, l
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, let it be

Let it be

Jennifer Hudson first entered the public consciousness as a 22-year old from Chicago trying out for American Idol. Her American Idol tenure ended in 2005, after finishing in seventh place.

Since the show, she’s gone on to have successes as a singer, theater actor, and movie star. Her first big break was her role as Effie in the 2006 film Dreamgirls. She starred alongside Beyoncé and won 29 awards for her performance—including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007. She went on to star in numerous films as well as the theater production The Color Purple, based on the novel by Alice Walker.

Hudson released her first album in 2008 entitled Jennifer Hudson. That same year, she suffered a major loss while on tour when her mother, brother, and nephew were killed by her sister’s estranged husband. She released subsequent albums I Remember Me in 2011, and JHUD in 2014.
