Let It Be

"When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be." Paul McCartney, "Let It Be," (1970).
Many people think that "Mother Mary" in this Beatles song is Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Paul McCartney, who wrote the song, has explained that the lyrics refer to his mother, who died when he was fourteen.

His mother, Mary, appeared to him in a dream during a period when he and the other Beatles were experiencing some internal discord.  She told him, "It will be all right.  Just let it be."
