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. |
| Chorus: |
| Silver wings upon their chest |
| These are men, America’s best |
| One hundred men we’ll 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 deep from the Green Beret. |
| Chorus: |
| Silver wings upon their chest |
| These are men, America’s best |
| One hundred men we’ll test today |
| But only three win the Green Beret. |
| Delta Force and CIA |
| Marines and SOCOM clear the way |
| Covert missions now in play |
| Special OPS like the Green Beret. |
| Chorus: |
| Silver wings upon their chest |
| These are men, America’s best |
| One hundred men we’ll 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 |
| 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. |
| Chorus: |
| Silver wings upon their chest |
| These are men, America’s best |
| One hundred men we’ll test today |
| But only three win the Green Beret… |
