Once And For All

This is the story you wanted to write well tonight is the night that you can

Just get this done and by dawns early light you can finish the fight you began

This time we're in it to stay

Think about seizing the day

Think of that train as she rolls into old Santa Fe
Tell her I'm on my way

Old man Pulitzer is 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 your still counting sheep
wake up and read em and weep
you got your thugs with their sticks and their clubs
yeah but we got a promise to keep
once and for all
somethings tells me the tide'll be turnin
once and for all there's a fire inside me that
won't stop burning
Now that the choices are clear
Now that tommorrow is here
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 everyday
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 a friend
every friend a brother
five thousand fists in the sky(five thousand fists in the sky)
five thousand reasons to try(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
