Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say, the brave men of 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

Trained to live off nature's land, trained [bad word] hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day, courage take(?) from 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

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
