Let It BeJoan Baez

Songwriter: John Lennon Paul McCartney

Producer: Norbert Putnam

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
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
Let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shines until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary sings to me
There will be no sorrow, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be no sorrow, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be no sorrow, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
There will be no sorrow, let it be

Joan Baez

Joan Chandos Baez (9 January 1941 -), born in Staten Island, New York, is an American singer-songwriter who help revitalize folk music in the 1960s. She has performed publicly for over 55 years and released some 30 albums. She’s a Quaker by birthright and that is reflected in her early, anti-Vietnam War work, her alignment with the U.S. Civil Rights movement, and her work with Amnesty International.

Baez is highly regarded today for her music and her involvement in social issues, but she’s not without her critics. Her early involvement in the anti-war movement had many claiming she was un-American. Others claim her support of the civil rights movement was self-serving. Baez has always refused to enter the political arena directly, working instead to privately support causes she believes in.

Baez has received numerous awards for her music, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement and Grammy Hall of Fame awards.
