youtu.be/69zvFnVa03g Lyrics for Sky Pilot By The Animals He blesses the boys as they stand in line The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine Hes there to help them all that he can To make them feel wanted hes a good holy man Sky pilot, Sky pilot, How high can you fly? Youll 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 therell be blood and many will die Mothers and fathers back home they will cry Sky pilot, Sky pilot, How high can you fly? Youll 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 hell stay behind and hell meditate But it wont stop the bleeding or ease the hate As the young men move out into the battle zone He feels good, with God youre 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? Youll never, never, never reach the sky. Youre 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 soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot Remembers the words Thou shalt not kill. Sky pilot, Sky pilot, How high can you fly? Youll never, never, never reach the sky.
