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   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       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       (Interlude)      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 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 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 never, never, never reach the sky
