Newsies-Original Broadway Cast - Seize the Day lyrics

rate me

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 this 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

Judgement day is here

Houston to Harlem, look what's begun

One for all and all for one!

Strike! Strike!

(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!
