Lyrics:

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

[CHORUS]
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men Americas best
One hundred men we’ll test today but
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

[CHORUS]

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 Americas best He'll be a man they'll test one day Have him win the Green Beret
