Lyrics

I nev er (F)thought that it’d be eas y, ’cause we’re (C)both so dis tant now,

and the (G)walls are clos ing in on us, and we’re won der ing how.

(Am)No one (F)has a sol id an swer, but you’re still (C)walk ing in the dark, and you can (G)see the look on my face; it just tears me a part.

So (Am)we fight

through the hurt,

and we cry,

and cry,

and cry,

and cry.

And (Am)we live,

and we learn,

and we try,

and try,

and try,

and try.

So it’s up to you and it’s up to me that we meet

in the mid dle on our way back down to earth,

down to earth,

down to earth,

on our way back down to earth.

(Back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth, back down to earth.

Ma ma, (F)you were al ways some where, and Dad dy, (C)I live out of town.

So tell me, (G)how could I ev er be nor mal some how?

You (Am)tell me (F)this is for the best, so tell me, (C)why am I in tears?

So far a way, and now I just need you here.

So we (F)fight

through the hurt,

and we cry,

and cry,

and cry,

and cry.

And (Am)we (F)live

and we (C)learn,

and we try,

and try,

and try,

and try.

So it’s up back down to earth, back down to (C)earth.)

We felt so far a (G)way

from where we used to (Am)be.

Now we’re (F)stand ing and where do we (C)go?

But when there’s no (G)road

to get to your heart,

let’s start (F)o ver a gain.

So it’s up to you and it’s up to me that we meet

in the mid dle on our way back down to earth,

down to earth,

down to earth,

on our way back down to...

I nev er (F)thought that it’d be eas y, ’cause we’re (C)both so dis tant now,

and the (G)walls are clos ing in on us, and we’re won der ing how.

Down To Earth by Justin Bieber — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Down To Earth by Justin Bieber 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 C at 70 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

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.
