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 Americas best

one hundred men will test today but

only three win the Green Beret

trained to live off natures land

trained in combat hand to hand

men who fight by night and day

courage take from the Green Beret



(Choris)

Silver wings upon their chest 

these are men Americas 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 sons chest

make him one of Americas best 

he'll be a man they'll test one day

have him win the Green Beret
