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

- *Refrain -

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`ll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
