Lyrics

He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease, 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?
Will you ever reach the sky?
He smiles at young soldiers, tells them it's alright
He knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
But then the mothers and fathers back home they will cry
Sky pilot
Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
Will you ever reach the sky?
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given and 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
And the young men move out into their battle zone
He feels so good, with God you're never alone
He feels so tired and he lays on his bed
Hope the men will find courage in the things that he said
Sky pilot
Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
Will you ever reach the sky?
How high can you fly?
Will you ever reach the sky?
Sky pilot
Sky pilot
How high can you fly?
Will you ever reach the sky?
