Lyrics

Time

goes

slow ly now

in my (F7)life.

Fear

no more

of what I’m

(F7)not sure.

(Ebsus2)Search and fill your soul,

the (Bb)strength to stand a lone,

the (Bbm)pow er of not know ing, and let ting (F7sus)go.

I guess I’ve found my (Bb)way;

it’s sim ple when it’s right.

Feel ing luck y just to (Bb)be here to (Gm7)night, and (Cm11)hap py

just to (F7sus)be me and (F7)be

a live.

Love,

in and out

of my,

my (F7)heart.

And though life

can be strange,

I can’t

be a (F7)fraid.

(Ebsus2)Search and fill your soul,

the (Bb)strength to stand a lone,

the (Db6)pow er of not know ing and let ting (Fsus)go.

I guess I’ve found my (Bbsus2)way;

it’s sim ple when it’s right.

Feel ing (F)luck y just to (Bb)be here to (Gm7)night, and (Cm11)hap py

just to (F7sus)be me and (F)be

a live.

a live.

I guess I’ve found my (Bbsus2)way;

it’s sim ple when it’s right.

Feel ing luck y just to (Bb)be here to (Gm7)night, and (Cm7)hap py

just to (F7sus)be me and (F7)be

a live.

Alive by Jennifer Lopez — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Alive” by Jennifer Lopez in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Eb at 90 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
