Let It Be
One of the most inspirational songs ever written in the English language is Paul McCartney's Beatle tune "Let It Be". It calls on us to have faith that we can overcome and that there will be a better day if we are strong and have faith. I often times think of this as a song of mourning but it is also a song of hope and faith and I think appropriate as we await the results of this election on Tuesday night.

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.
Yeah, There will be an answer, 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, yeah let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, 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, yeah let it be.
There will be and answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, yeah let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

1. " there is Still a chance that they will see"
That is the most optimistic verse in that song.
This is what we can hope for that the right wing nuts will see and change their behavior accordingly.

And that was one of the great songs that came out of the Beatles.
