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
