Make We Glow

Eh-eh, ah-ah
Oya, come outside
Tonight no small
Tonight we glow

Oya make we glow, glow, glow
Low light knows our name
If the week was heavy, carry it lighter
Dance it off the frame

I left my trouble by the doorway
Shoes clean but my heart had dust
Been working, been running
Been laughing just to breathe
You came through with that soft smile
Gold hoops catching the light
You said, "Stop with that pretending"
Then you pulled me to the beat

Shaker talking, bassline walking
Guitar answering my chest
All the worry started falling
When your hand said, "Come and rest"

Oya make we glow, glow, glow
Low light knows our name
If the week was heavy, carry it lighter
Dance it off the frame

Eh-eh, we glow (we glow)
Ah-ah, we glow (we glow)
Step left, step right, no shame
Low light knows our name

Now the rooftop is a kingdom
Plastic cups and classy dreams
Aunties laughing by the speaker
Young boys fresh in white and cream
Somebody's uncle shouts, "Again-o!"
DJ wheels it to the top
Even people with the hard face
Find a little joy and drop

Log drum knocking, highlife calling
Crowd is answering from the stairs
All the things I thought were broken
Started dancing in the air

Oya make we glow, glow, glow
Low light knows our name
If the week was heavy, carry it lighter
Dance it off the frame

Glow now, glow now
Oya, make we glow
Low light, high life
Oya, make we glow

I used to dance so the pain couldn't find me
Smile on my face with a storm behind me
You said, "Bring the crack, let it catch the light"
So I opened my hands in the middle of the night

Oya make we glow, glow, glow
Low light knows our name
If the week was heavy, carry it lighter
Dance it off the frame

Eh-eh, we glow (we glow)
Ah-ah, we glow (we glow)
Low light knows our name
