What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
2
The smell of gun grease
3
And the bayonets they shine
4
He's there to help them all that he can
5
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man
6
Sky pilot,
7
Sky pilot,
8
How high can you fly?
9
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
10
He smiles at the young soldiers
11
Tells them it's all right
12
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
13
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
14
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry
15
Sky pilot,
16
Sky pilot,
17
How high can you fly?
18
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
19
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
20
The order is given
21
They move down the line
22
But he'll stay behind and he'll meditate
23
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease 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 tired and he lays on his bed
27
Hopes the men will find courage
28
In the words that he said
29
Sky pilot,
30
Sky pilot,
31
How high can you fly?
32
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
33
You're soldiers of God, you must understand
34
The fate of your country is in your young hands
35
May God give you strength
36
Do your job real well
37
If it all was worth it
38
Only time it will tell
39
In the morning they return
40
With tears in their eyes
41
The stench of death drifts up to the skies
42
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot
43
Remembers the words
44
"Thou shalt not kill."
45
Sky pilot,
46
Sky pilot,
47
How high can you fly?
48
You'll never, never, never reach the sky.
