Let It Rain
Mark Stephen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
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 an answer, let it be

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

Overall Meaning

"Let It Rain" by Mark Stephens is a song that speaks to the power of surrendering and letting things be. However, the lyrics to this song are very different from "Let It Be" by The Beatles. While "Let It Be" is a song about a woman named Mary who comes to the singer in times of trouble, the singer in "Let It Rain" calls upon "Mother Mary" to comfort him. "Mother Mary" is a religious reference to the Virgin Mary in Christianity, who is often invoked as the compassionate mother of humanity. The song describes how Mother Mary comes to the singer in times of trouble and speaks words of wisdom, which the singer interprets as "letting it be."

Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges that the world is full of broken-hearted people who need an answer. However, the singer believes that if everyone can agree to let things be and surrender, there will be an answer. The song suggests that even in dark times, there is still a light that shines on the singer, and through surrendering, he can wake up to the sound of music and the comforting words of Mother Mary. The chorus repeats the phrase "let it be" and "whisper words of wisdom," emphasizing the importance of surrendering and letting things play out as they will.
