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 America's best
|
One hundred men will test today
|
But only three win the Green Beret
|
Trained to live off natures land
|
Treined in combat hand-to-hand
|
Men who fight by night and day
|
Courage peak from the Green Berets
|
Silver wings upon their chest
|
These are men America's 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 his last request
|
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
|
