Hebrew/english Lyrics

Chorus:
<br>
<br><i>Im ein a-ni li mi li</i>?
<br>If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
<br><i>Uch-she-a-ni latz-mi mah a-ni</i>?
<br>If I am only for myself, what am I?
<br><i>Vim lo ach-shav ei-ma-tai</i>?
<br>And (if not now), (2x) when?
<br>
<br>Hillel was a Rabbi and he taught us what to do.
<br>The first part of his lesson said you must be true to you.
<br>You have to love yourself if you expect that others should.
<br>Having self-respect is something special, something good.
<br>
<br>(Chorus)
<br>
<br>My self is very special, its the place I have to start.
<br>But Hillel said we must make room for others in our heart.
<br>Yes, love yourself but care and share  dont lock the others out.
<br>Caring for yourself and others is what life is all about.
<br>
<br>(Chorus)
<br>
<br>Life is short, the time flies by and just before you know.
<br>Today becomes last week and then a long, long time ago.
<br>Hillel said do what you must  act now, today, dont wait.
<br>Decide what is important  do it now, its not too late.
<br>
<br>(Chorus)
