Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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, America's best One hundred men will test today But only three win the Green Beret [Verse 2] 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] Silver wings upon their chest These are men, America's best One hundred men will test today But only three win the Green Beret [Verse 3] Back at home a young wife waits Her Green Beret has met his fate He had died for those oppressed Leaving her this last request [Chorus] 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
