SKY PILOT

(Burdon/Briggs/Weider/Jenkins/McCulloch)

ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS - 1968
7
He blesses the boys as they stand in life
8
the smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine
9
he's here to help them all that he can
10
to make them feel wanted he's a good holy man.
11
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
12
you'll never never never reach the sky.
13
He smiles at the young soldiers
14
tells them it's all right
15
he knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight
16
soon there'll be blood and many will die
17
mother and fathers back home they will cry.
18
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
19
you'll never never never reach the sky.
20
He humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
21
the order is given they move down the line
22
but hell stay behind and he'll meditate
23
but it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.
24
As the young men move out into the battle zone
25
he feels good with god you're never alone
26
he feels so tired and he lays on his bed
27
hopes the men will find courage
28
in the words that he's said.
29
Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly
30
you'll never never never reach the sky.
31
You're soldiers of god you must understand
32
the fate of your country is in your young hands
33
may god give you strength do your job really well
34
if it all was worth in only time it will tell.
35
In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes
36
the stench of death drifts up to the skies
37
a young soldier so it looks at the sky bright
38
remember the words thou shalt not kill.
