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 nature’s land
Trained 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.

  1. Judy Says:

    Hi, on both the scrolling and red-font lyrics, America should be capitalized. In fact, it’s quite shocking to see the small “a” because the name “America” deserves distinct recognition, as a title, a proper noun, and the name of our great country.
