Sembrando by Mexican singer-songwriter Eric Méndez is a rallying cry to wake up a sleeping world and replace chaos with kindness. Racing cars, hurried commuters, corrupt cops and street vendors paint a vivid cityscape where “el mercado del placer” (the market of pleasure) rules. In the middle of the noise, a mysterious whisper and a rainbow—remembered as Noah’s ancient promise—spark the narrator’s decision to “sembrar la luz,” or plant light wherever darkness prevails.
The song jumps between snapshots of everyday life and a larger spiritual mission. Méndez contrasts scenes of poverty and vice with his own resolve to gather “tesoros en lo alto,” treasures that outlast money or fun. Each chorus turns into a mantra: he will keep sowing light until it spreads, offering hope that small acts of generosity can transform the city’s gray hustle into vibrant color. Listen, and you might feel inspired to plant a few rays of your own.
