To the tune of Yaaleh

Once there were, two temimim,
Going together on mivtzoim,
However their reasons weren’t the same,
From two very different perspectives they came.
One went because that’s what his friends did,
The other one went to help another Yid,
But after a short while the first realized too,
It’s not about me it’s about the other-Jew.
The Rebbe has taught us to help every Jew,
No matter how and no matter who,
Whether he is or is not our friend,
We must help him out to the end.
So every Yid must go out of his limits,
To go and uplift, someone else’s spirits,
‘cause it’s not about Ich and it’s not about I,
It’s all about helping the other guy.
A fire is burning, there’s no time to wait,
Care just about me and for him its too late,
Our life is not ours, our time we don’t own,
There’s no right to leave others alone.
A lesson from this, we must all take,
Even if our free time is at stake,
We cannot just focus on changing ourselves,
We need avoda im zulosoy as well.
