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
Be this, be this
I won't let it fade
I 'ii 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
Doesn't need to be perfection
For my symphony to happen
Nows, nows
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
'Cause everything sounds better
When it's played
In the key of life
