[VERSE 1] New
yam,
new
harvest,
blessings
from
the
land,
Time
to
celebrate
together,
hand
in
hand,
Just
like
our
fathers
taught
us
long
ago,
We
keep
the
culture
alive,
we
let
the
tradition
grow.
From
generation
to
generation,
From
generation
to
generation,
This
is
our
heritage
and
celebration,
We
thank
God
for
the
harvest
we
see,
New
Yam
Festival,

Every

join
the
party,
Different

love
is
our
language,
Different
traditions,
but
together
we
flourish.
When
my
brother
celebrates,
I
celebrate
too,
When
my
sister
needs
me,
I
will
stand
with
you,
No
matter
where
our
fathers
came
from
before,
Battalion 3
is
the
family
we
know.
[PRE-CHORUS] Our

And

we
carry
it
on! [
