Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they
say
The brave men of the Green
Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test
today
But only three win the Green
Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, America's best
One hundred men will test
today
But only three win the Green
Beret
Back at home a young wife
waits
Her Green Beret has met his
fate
He has died for those
oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-tohand
Men who fight by night and
day
Courage peak from the Green
Berets
Put silver wings on my son's
chest
Make him one of America's
best
He'll be a man they'll test one
day
Have him win the Green Beret
