[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! (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!
