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

Oooohh

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 (Not afraid)

‘Cause everything sounds better (Better)

When it's played

In the key of life
