Let It Be by The Beatles is featured in Tina in the Sky with Diamonds, the second episode of Season Five. It is sung by Artie, Kitty, Kurt, Rachel, Santana, and Tina.
Kurt, Rachel and Santana find out that Rachel has received the part of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. As the three celebrate with the customers at the Diner, the song begins in the New York Bushwick Apartment. Rachel joins Dani, Kurt and Santana as they sing, celebrating her good news with a bottle of champagne. Back in the auditorium, the New Directions sing the same song, dressed in special clothing as Will looks on at them. The New Directions clap and hug each other as soon as the song has finished.
Lyrics[]
Rachel:
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Santana:
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Rachel (with Santana):
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
(Whisper words of wisdom, let it be) (Santana: Hee!)
Tina (and Artie):
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree
(There will be an answer, let it be)
Kitty (and Artie):
For though they may be parted
There is still a chance that they will see
(There will be an answer, let it be, hee!) (Artie: Ooh!)
New Directions:
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, hee!
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ahhhh!
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be, hee!
Kurt:
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
Santana (with Kurt):
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me
(Speaking words of wisdom, let it be, hee!)
Artie with New Directions (New Directions):
Let it be (Let it be)
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Oh, there will be an answer
Let it be (Artie: Hee!)
Let it be (Let it be)
Let it be (Yeah, let it be)(Artie: Oh, whoa!)
