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
(Chorus)
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
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 (Chorus) 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 Explain Request ×
