Lyrics

Look ing in your eyes you, I see a par a dise, you, this world that I found is too good to true.

Stand ing here be side you, want so much to give you this love in my heart that I’m feel ing for you.

Let them say we’re cra zy, I don’t care a bout that.

Put your hand in my hand, ba by, (C)don’t ev er look back.

Let the world a round us just fall a part.

Ba by, we can make it if we’re (Eb)heart to heart.

And we can build this dream to geth er, stand ing strong for ev er, noth ing’s gon na stop us now.

And if this world runs out of lov ers (Dm7)we’ll still have each oth er, noth ing’s gon na stop us, noth ing’s gon na stop us.

I’m so glad I found you, I I’m not gon na lose you, what ev er it takes I will stay here you.

Take you to the good times, see you through the bad times, what ev er it takes is what I’m gon na do.

Let them say we’re cra zy,

what don’t do a they know.

Put your arms a round me, ba by, (C)don’t ev er let go.

Let the world a round us

just fall a part.

Ba by, we can make it if we’re (Eb)heart to heart.

And we can build this dream to geth er, stand ing strong for ev er, noth ing’s gon na stop us now.

And if this world runs out of lov ers (Dm7)we’ll still have each oth er, noth ing’s gon na stop us, noth ing’s gon na stop us.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship 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 Bb at 100 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.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand's octave bass pattern — you'll be jumping between root notes in steady octaves, which at 100 BPM sits right in that sweet spot where accuracy matters more than speed. Pay close attention to the move from Eb up to F and then to Gm7; that three-chord climb happens quickly and your left hand needs to land those octave jumps cleanly without hesitation. Your right hand will handle seven distinct chord shapes, so spend time getting comfortable with the Dm7 and Gm7 voicings separately before layering hands together. The C7 typically signals a turnaround back to F or Bb, so listen for that pull and lean into it musically. I'd suggest looping the chorus hands-separate first, since that's where the energy peaks and the chord changes come fastest. Once both hands feel steady at around 70 BPM, gradually bring it up to tempo. This is the kind of song that really solidifies your confidence moving between major, minor seventh, and dominant seventh chords in a flat key — skills you'll use constantly in pop playing.
