A Song Celebrating Growth

We had just finished our mural and songwriting workshop in El Pescadero, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Before leaving the area for good, we jumped over to nearby Todos Santos for one more songwriting workshop…

This workshop was held at La Semilla Escuela Libre. La semilla means seed. Escuela libre means free school. It’s a beautiful little community school in Todos Santos.

As with every short visit, one can only scratch the surface in getting to know a place, its community, and all its depth and intricacies. But we still caught the flavor of La Semilla. Good people building a unique space and educational experience for these kids.

And without further ado, we’ll let you dive into the story…

La Semilla Song Lyrics

La tranquilidad empieza en la playa
Entre las olas y el viento
En ese momento, el enojo se fue corriendo
Y me puse en modo contento

La felicidad es una semilla que tenemos que regar
Todos los días la tenemos que cuidar
Sonrie a la vida, y la semilla crecerá

Sometimes an old life turns into a new life
Una aventura, a new adventure awaits
No tengas miedo for each new moment
Vive el momento, live life always

(English Translation)

Tranquility begins at the beach
Between the waves and the wind
In that moment, my anger left me
And I put myself in “content mode”

Happiness is a seed that we need to water
Every day we have to take care of it
Smile at life, and the seed will grow

Sometimes an old life turns into a new life
An adventure, a new adventure awaits
Don’t be afraid for each new moment
Live the moment, live life always
