  • 'Let it be' is a British term meaning - leave it alone, don't change anything, keep the same.
  • Let it be in the Beatles song refers to the idea of just not worrying or letting stress overcome you--no matter how bad it is. Instesd, let things be as they are and all will be well. Paul McCartney wrote Let It Be in 1969 when the Beatles were on the verge of breaking up. He said he was stressing over John Lennon's and his troubles and the dissolution of the Beatles when Paul's dead mother Mary came to him in a dream one night. She basically told him everything will be well, not to worry, just 'let it be'. The song has also been interpreted to mean that you are surrendering your own power and giving yourself over to the wisdom and guidance of a higher power.
