Bit by Bit by Laju Ereyitomi Oyewoli

Bit by bit
Our bodies began to move
 To the beat of Iwere drum 
Steps by steps 
Our feet jiggled the earth
 Surface with velocity 

So the rhythms 
 Merged with our souls 
The tempo flowed from our soles 
The cadence staired in our bones  
And we became synergized 
In the heritage of our glow
