Lyrics by Jack Feldman.

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
