This song, Mi Alma en Color, embraces the experiences and aspirations of young people. It speaks of their excitement and fear for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Like a symphony, each young individual carries a distinct melody, constantly evolving and changing. They may question if they are ready to let go of the familiar and discover new ways to share their inner song, even as they continue to learn and grow along the way.

The voices of children in this song serve as a reminder that everything will be alright as they soar into the future. They will discover comfort in their unique voice and the lessons learned from their past. They will always hold onto the lyrics of love, carrying it with them as they navigate the path ahead.

This is a celebration of youth and the anticipation it brings, but also a reminder that their past experiences have prepared them for the wonderful growth that awaits them.

Canto(n)

Am I ready

to fill shoes that the stars hold for me?

Am I ready

to breach the walls and reach for starlight?

Am I ready

to let go of friends I've known since forever?

To travel to whatever, to an unknown.

Volando, canto mi canción

un cántico de amor

una nueva mariposa

con mi alma en color

It’s our song

ready sing it in three

sing it and dance a symphony

like fireworks in the night

Bring out your light

Blast it out bright!

Am I ready?

to reshape my ways and call them my own?

To find new friends and fly off and grow.

taki munakuy

canto de amor
