Lyrics[]
David: Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day
David and Newsies: Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray
David: Wrongs will be righted
If we're united
David and Newsies: Let us seize the day
Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one
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, and 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!
(Instrumental-Dance Number)
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!
