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, 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
Shine 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, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

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

One of the most respected and revered names in the Australian music industry, Paul Kelly is a true veteran. 27 studio albums down, his output and quality has rarely wavered. Known best for his unique storytelling ability, Kelly was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2017 for distinguished service to the performing arts.

Kelly has performed with numerous backing bands throughout his career – beginning with The Dots, he then went solo before acquiring a new backing band, The Coloured Girls (later to be renamed The Messengers). Future releases were again under the Kelly solo name, but this didn’t stop the prolific songwriter from collaborating with other existing bands and artists – Uncle Bill, The Stormwater Boys, Neil Finn, and Charlie Owen. He also participated in acts such as Professor Ratbaggy and Stardust Five, who each have one release to their name.

Despite the reverence and acclaim for Kelly throughout his career, it took until 2017 for the Adelaide native to achieve his first #1 album on the national charts, for his ARIA Award-winning record Life Is Fine.
