Fighting soldiers from the sky,
fearless men who jump and die
men who mean just what they say,
the brave men of the green berets
silver wings upon their chest
these are men
Americas best
100 men will test today
but only 3 win the green beret
train to live off natures land
trained in combat hand to hand
men who fight by night and day
courage taken from the green beret
silver wings upon their chest
these are men
Americas best
100 men will test today
but only 3 win the green beret
back at home a young wife waits
her green beret has met his fate
he had died for those oppresed
leaving her this last request
put silver wings upon my sons chest
make him one of Americas best
hell be a man theyll test one day
have him win the green beret
