Sky Pilot

He blesses the boys, as they stand in line
 The smell of gun grease and their 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
 How high can you fly?
 You'll never,, never never, reach the sky
 He smiles at the young soldiers, tells them it's all right
 He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
 Soon there'll be blood and many will die
 Mothers and fathers back home they will cry

 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
 As the young men move out into the battle zone
 He feels good, with God you're never alone
 He feels so tired as he lays on his bed
 Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

 You're soldiers of God you must understand
 The fate of your country is in your young hands
 May God give you strength
 Do your job 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 lifts up to the skies
 A young soldier so ill, looks at the Sky Pilot
 Remembers the words 'Thou shalt not kill'.
