Once and For All |
| 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. |
| 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 begging for bread to survive |
| Joe, if you’re still counting 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 will be turning |
| Once and for all |
| There’s a fire inside me that won’t stop burning |
| Now that the choices are clear |
| Now that tomorrow is hear |
| Watch how the mighty will fall |
| For once and for all! |
| This is for kids shining shoes on the street |
| With no shoes on their feet every day |
| This is for guys sweating 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 going over the wall |
| Better to die than to crawl |
| Either we stand or we fall |
| For once … once and for all! |
