Seize the Day

[Davey:]

Now is the time to seize the day

Stare down the odds and seize the day

Minute by minute that's how you win it

We will find a way

But let us seize the day

Courage cannot erase our fear

Courage is when we face our fear

Tell those with power safe in their tower

We will not obey!

[Davey & Jack:]

Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side

Too few in number and too proud to hide

Then say to the others who did not follow through

You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you

[Davey, Jack & Crutchie:]

Now is the time to seize the day

Stare down the odds and seize the day

[Newsies:]

Once we've begun

If we stand as one

Someday becomes somehow

And a prayer becomes a vow

[Jack:]

And the strike starts right damn now!

[Davey:]

Now is the time to seize the day

[Newsies:]

Now is the time to seize the day

[Davey:]

Answer the call and don't delay

[Newsies:]

Answer the call and don't delay

[Davey & Newsies:]

Wrongs will be righted

If we're united

Let us seize the day

[Jack:]

Now let 'em hear it loud and clear

[Newsies:]

Now let 'em hear it loud and clear

[Jack:]

Like it or not we're drawing near

[Newsies:]

Like it or not we're drawing near

[Jack & Newsies:]

Proud and defiant

We'll slay the giant

Judgment day is here

Houston to Harlem, look what's begun

One for all and all for one!

Strike! strike! strike! strike! strike! strike!

Oh! strike!

Now is the time to seize the day

They're gonna see there's hell to pay

Nothing can break us

No one can make us quit before we're done

One for all and all for

One for all and all for

One for all and all for one!
