Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
These are men of the Green Beret.
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men of America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win a green beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage takes from the green beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men of America's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win a green beret
Back at home my 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
Have him win the green beret.

I remember part of this as lyrics for a song that was on one of my parents' records. (...vinyl album, extra large CDs, whatever they are called now. :) )
