Alújánjánkìján by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Alújánjánkìján
Here are lyrics melting our souls 
Verses binding us whole 
Rhythms mending our holes 
        Alújánjánkìján
        So Clap your hands
       And make it sound like a gong
       Nod your heads  
        As our chorus throng  
And let us heed the lessons 
Each line brings along
