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
