Ballad Of The Green Beret

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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] [Verse 3] Delta Force and CIA Marines and SOCOM clear the way Covert missions now in play Special OPS like the Green Beret [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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]
