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
SKY PILOT
HOW HIGH CAN YOU FLY
YOU NEVER
REACH THE SKY
HE SMILES AT
THE YOUNG SOLDIERS
TELLS THEM IT'S ALRIGHT
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
SKY PILOT
SKY PILOT
HOW HIGH CAN YOU FLY
YOU 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 SO 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 NEVER
REACH THE SKY
