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 chests
These are men
America's best
One hundred men
Will test today
But only three
Win the Green Beret
Trained to live
Off nature's land
Trained in combat
Hand to hand
Men who fight
By night and day
Courage take
From the Green Beret
Silver wings
Upon their chests
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
This last request
Put silver wings
On my son's chest
Make him one
Of America's best
He'll be a man
They I' I test one day
Have him win
The Green Beret
