Justin, I know you couldn't possibly have known, but you couldn't have picked a more meaningful song for this utterly insane time of our lives...thanks for the soulfully beautiful rendition, y'all brought a tear to my eye for all the right reasons.

    Amazing job, Justin.
    An old friend of mine once told me he wanted this song played at his funeral. A few years later he killed himself. I had spoken to him the night before and never got a hint anything was wrong. I was so mad at him over it I couldn't attend his funeral. But at the same time his funeral was taking place, this song came on the radio. I had to pull off the road and sob in my truck. I'm crying now just writing this. RIP James. Miss you, brother.

    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, be
    And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
    Shinin' 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
    And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
    And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
