Reminds me of a Beatle's tune; 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, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be. (instrumental break) Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, 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, let it be. There will be no sorrow, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. hoooo' hoooo' On Aug 26, 9:08 am, ashok tewari <[email protected]> wrote: > The doing does speak of our intellect, Slip. > > But it's the stopping, the non - doing, that would prove our developed > intellect, the one which would trash this ' superiority ' we carry about > ourselves ! > > > > > > On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 5:09 PM, Slip Disc <[email protected]> wrote: > > That is just an emotional sentiment gabb, an endearing recognition of > > natural beauty and strength.
