Ballad of 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 chests
 These are men, America's best
 One hundred men will test today
 But only three win the Green Beret
 They're trained to live off natures land
 Trained in combat, hand to hand
 Men who fight, by night and day
 Courage deep, from the Green Beret
 Silver wings upon their chests
 These are men, America's best
 One hundred men will test today
 But only three win the Green Beret
 Delta Force and C.I.A
 Marines and SOCOM clear the way
 Covert missions now in play
 Special OPS like 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
 While back at home a young wife waits
 Her Green Beret has met his fate
 He has died for those oppressed
 And leaving her this 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
 So have him win the Green Beret
 Have him win the Green Beret
 Silver wings upon their chest
 These are men, America's best
 One hundred men will test today
 Only three win 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)
