Katie Stevens - Let It Be

Let It Be Lyrics

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, .....

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.

Katie Stevens Makes 'Let It Be' Her Own On 'American Idol'

It's one of the most famous songs of all time, and the lyrics are instantly recognizable to anyone from Dallas to Dubai. But Tuesday night (April 6) on "American Idol," one of the contestants made "Let It Be" her own.

Following a thunderous response from the audience — which included her family, holding an "I love my family because they love Katie Stevens" sign — the judges unanimously gushed over Stevens' heart-tugging vocals.

"That was your best performance ever," Randy Jackson beamed, praising the song that Katie said her father used to play for her in the car. "That was ridiculous."

Ellen DeGeneres, meanwhile, praised her for "changing it just enough without disrespecting the song," while Kara DioGuardi agreed, saying, "You make the song your own. You're blossoming."

"It felt, to me, that you were singing it about somebody rather than being robotic," Simon Cowell agreed. "And that's a big difference."

Paul McCartney certainly wasn't being robotic when he recorded "Let It Be" in early 1969 for the release of the same-named album that marked the Beatles' final effort. Recorded during a period of rapidly increasing acrimony between the members of the world's greatest rock band, McCartney has said that he was inspired to write the song after a calming dream about his mother Mary — who had died of cancer when he was 14 — during the tense period of his life.

Ranked #20 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, "Let It Be" reached #1 on the Billboard charts in April 1970. In perhaps the latest great testament to its legacy, "Let It Be" has become an "Idol" favorite:
