[Verse]
Fight-ing sol-diers from the sky;
Fear-less men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men
of the Green Ber-et
[Chorus]
Sil-ver wings up-on their chests,
These are men A-me-r-ica's best
One hun-dred men
will test to-day
But on-ly three
win the Green Be-ret
[Verse]
Trained to live, off na-ture's land;
trained in com- bat, hand to hand
Men who fight, by night and day;
cou-rage take,
from the Green Ber-et
[Chorus]
Sil-ver wings up-on their chests,
These are men A-me-r-ica's best
One hun-dred men
will test to-day
But on-ly three
win the Green Be-ret
[Verse]
Back at home, a young wife waits;
her Green Ber-et has met his fate
He has died, for those op-pressed;
lea-ving her this
last re-quest
[Chorus]
Put sil-ver wings on my son's chest;
make him one of A-me-r-ica's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day;
have him win the Green Be-ret
