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

 

1st chorus:

 

silver wings upon their chest

these are men america's best

one hundred men we'll 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 deep from the green beret

 

repeat 1st chorus

 

delta force and cia

marines and socom clear the way

covert missions now in play

special ops like the green beret

 

repeat 1st chorus

 

while 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

 

2nd 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

so have him win the green beret

have him win the green beret

 

repeat 1st chorus
