DENTON: This is the story you wanted to write Well, tonight is the night that you can
JACK: Just get this done and by dawn's early light You can finish the fight you began
DAVID: This time we're in it to stay
SARAH: Think about seizing the day
JACK: Think of that train As she rolls into old Santa Fe Tell 'em I'm on my way
MORE NEWSIES: See old man Pulitzer snug in his bed He don't care if we're dead or alive Three satin pillows are under his head While we're beggin' for bread to survive Joe, if you're still countin' sheep Wake up and read 'em and weep You got your thugs With their sticks and their slugs Yeah, but we got a promise to keep
Once and for all Something tells me the tide'll be turnin' Once and for all There's a fire inside me That won't stop burnin' Now that the choices are clear Now that tomorrow is here Watch how the mighty will fall For once and for all
MORE NEWSIES: This is for kids shinin' shoes in the street With no shoes on their feet every day This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops While the bosses and cops look away This is to even the score This ain't just newsies no more This ain't just kids with some pie in the sky This is do it or die This is war!
Once and for all We'll be there to defend one another Once and for all Every kid is our friend Every friend a brother
Five thousand fists in the sky Five thousand reasons to try We're goin' over the wall Better to die than to crawl Either we stand or we fall For once Once and for all
