Song's by the Animals like Sky Pilot lyrics

He blesses the boys as they stand in line

The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine

He's there to help them all that he can

To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man

Sky pilot......Sky pilot

How high can you fly

You'll 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 there'll be blood and many will die

Sky pilot....Sky pilot

How hight 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's still behind and he'll meditate

But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate

As the young men move out into the battle zone

He feels good with god you're 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

You 'll never, never, never reach the sky

You're soldiers of god you must understand

The fate of your country is in 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 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
