The Newsies

So during the drive to and from West Virginia, I was listening to a collection of Disney songs I downloaded.  I had something around 160 or 170 Disney songs I was listening to, most of which I hadn’t heard before or were from movies I’d either never seen or hadn’t seen in years.  One song struck me, first for the tune, very catchy, and then for the words.  The lyrics follow:

Seize the Day

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.

Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray

Wrongs will be righted
If we’re united

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.

This song has made me want to watch the Newsies.  I quite like it.
