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.

2 – Silver wings upon their chests,
These are men, America’s best,
One hundred men we’ll test today,
But only three win the Green Beret.

3 – 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.

4 – Silver wings upon their chests,
These are men, America’s best,
Men who mean just what they say,
The brave men of the Green Beret.

5 – 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:

6 – 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.

7 – 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.

8 – Silver wings upon their chests,
These are men, America’s best,
One hundred men we’ll test today,
But only three win the Green Beret.
