He blesses the boys as they stand in lne
They smell of gungrease
And their bayonets. they shine
He's there to help them
All that the can
To make them feel wanted
Hes a good holy man
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky
He smles at the young soldiers
Tells them it will be alright
He knows all they fear
In the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood
And many will die
Mothers and fathers
Back home they will cry
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You"ll never never never reach the sky
He mumbles a prayer
And it ends with a smile
The order is given
They move down the line
But he'll stay behind
And he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding
Or ease the hate
The young men move out
Into the battle zone
He feels good
With God you're never alone
He feels so tired
And he lays on his bed
But the men will find courage
In the words that he said
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky
You are soldiers of God
You must understand
The fate of your country
Is in all your hands
May God give you strength
Do your job real well
If it all was worth it
Only time it will tell
In the morning they return
With tears in their eyes
The stench of death
Is hard to disguise
A young soldier so ill
Looks at the Sky pilot
Remembers the words
"Thou shalt not kill"
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky
Sky Pilot
Sky Pilot
How high can you fly
You'll never never never reach the sky
