A song is written on the pages
But the music's how you play it
If I close my eyes and listen
I can hear my own rhythm

Beating, beating
I won't let it fade
I'll sing it my way

I'm not changing
How I'm playing
I'm creating
In the key of life

I'm living
What I've been giving
Lose or winnin'
In the key of life

I'm not afraid
‘Cause everything sounds better
When it's played
In the key of life

A melody will just be noises
If we're not using our own voices
It doesn't need to be perfection
For my symphony to happen

Now, now
There's no time to waste
I got noise to make

I'm not changing
How I'm playing
I'm creating
In the key of life

I'm living
What I've been giving
Lose or winnin'
In the key of life

I'm not afraid
‘Cause everything sounds better
When it's played
In the key of life

This is my own life to play
So I'm gonna play it my own way

I'm not changing
How I'm playing
I'm creating
In the key of life

I'm living
What I've been giving
Lose or winnin'
In the key of life

I'm not afraid
‘Cause everything sounds better
When it's played
In the key of life
