Copyright Obtaining permission for song lyrics

[Catherine]

United Kingdom

I am an artist in Scotland. Last year, I did a non-profit mural in honour of my friend's father who had recently passed away. The mural included the quote "whisper words of wisdom, let it be" from the Beatles. I was wondering about the possibility of making prints of the mural and if they were sellable. I wanted to know how affordable it would be to get permission to use the lyrics, and where I might start. The mural is attached, for context.

You need to consult with one of the excellent solicitors in the UK.

No one here knows much (if anything) about UK laws.
