Let 'Em Be

Rewrite of Paul Mccartney's Let It Be

 

A new Ice Anthem

 

Now when our nation finds itself

In times of greatest trouble

I pray

Ice do not attack me

Hear instead these words of wisdom

Let 'em be

And in this hour of hopeless darkness

To you soliders standing in front of me

I beg you

Hear these words of wisdom

Let 'em be

 

Chorus

 

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Hear the whisper of

These words of wisdom

Let 'em be

 

And how sad all the broken hearted people

Living in this broken world agree

There must somehow be an answer

Let 'em be

Family oh family

Don't let them be parted

There must still be a chance

Before it's too late

ICE, you will see

There is only one answer

Let 'em be

 

Chorus part two

 

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

This is the only answer

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Let 'em be

Please hear these whispered words of wisdom

And just

oh please just

Let 'em be

 

Chorus

 

And throu now times be dark and cloudy

There can still be a light that shines both on you and me

A better future and tomorrow

If only you let 'em be

Wake up to the sound of a new beginning

Brothers and sisters all

Under the same God

You and me

Sharing those words of wisdom

Let 'em be

 

Chorus part two

This piece hits with a quiet

This piece hits with a quiet power. Taking a classic like Let It Be and reshaping it into a call for mercy, unity, and basic human dignity gives the poem a deep emotional weight. The repeated “Let ’em be” becomes more than a refrain—it feels like a prayer for families, for hope, for a country trying to find its heart again. I really felt the ache in those lines about broken-hearted people and the reminder that we’re all under the same God. Beautifully done, Ramona. You turned a familiar melody into a message the world still needs to hear.
