The people who boasted the most luscious grapes around,
Were to be hosting the king in their town,
Each man hurries to complete making his wine,
To serve to the king when he arrives,
The day is drawing near,
Each man brings his wine,
To pour into the kings shining goblet!
But one individual thinks,
Why does mine make a difference?
My little drop does not affect the taste a bit!
His turn came he opted to pour water instead,
The others will give wine to the king!
The result was that all thought to do the very same,
The king was left with water to drink!

Chorus:

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
The king was left with water,
For each thought he didn’t matter.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Your actions matter,
What you do will go far.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Achieve a symphony,
Of perfection and beauty.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Let’s band together,
We will climb higher!

In the orchestra of life every individual plays,
An instrument unique,
To enhance the music with their own special sounds,
Harmonious music resounds.
But one individual thinks,
Why does mine make a difference?
What I play does not affect the melody!
So he chooses to abandon his role in the orchestra,
My music won’t add much to the symphony!
Then an ear in tuned to the bands quality,
Notices something is lacking!
Where rich song used to be,
Is now empty,
That one took away from the full harmony!

Chorus:

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
When missing a piece,
The band will cease.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Your actions matter,
What you do will go far.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Achieve a symphony,
Of perfection and beauty.

איו הדבר תלוי אלא בי!
Let’s band together,
We will climb higher!
