“Seize the Day” by Cast from Newsies

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

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

Now is the time to seize the day
Stare down the odds and seize the day

Once we’ve begun
If we stand as one
Someday become somehow
And a prayer becomes a vow

And the strike starts right damn now

Now is the time to seize the day

Now is the time to seize the day

Answer the call and don’t delay

Answer the call and don’t delay

Wrongs will be righted
If we’re united
Let us seize the day

Now let ’em hear it loud and clear

Now let ’em hear it loud and clear

Like it or not we’re drawing near

Like it or not we’re drawing near

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! 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
