Lyrics - Sky Pilot by Animals

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine
HeÚ
FFFF92s there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted heÚ
FFFF92s a good holy man
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
YouÚ
FFFF92ll never, never, never reach the sky
He smiles at the young soldiers
Tells them its all right
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon thereÚ
FFFF92ll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot.....sky pilot
How high can you fly
YouÚ
FFFF92ll 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 heÚ
FFFF92s still behind and heÚ
FFFF92ll meditate
But it wonÚ
FFFF92t stop the bleeding or ease the hate
As the young men move out into the battle zone
He feels good, with
God youÚ
FFFF92re never alone
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said
Sky pilot.....sky
Pilot
How high can you fly
YouÚ
FFFF92ll never, never, never reach the sky
YouÚ
FFFF92re soldiers of
God you must understand
The fate of your country is in your young 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 drifts up to the skies
A 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 never, never, never reach the sky
