SKY PILOT

(Burdon/Briggs/Weider/Jenkins/McCulloch)

ERIC BURDON & THE ANIMALS - 1968

He blesses the boys as they stand in life

the smell of gun grease and their bayonets they shine

he's here 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 it's all right

he knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight

soon there'll be blood and many will die

mother 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 humbles a prayer and it ends with a smile

the order is given they move down the line

but hell stay behind and he'll meditate

but it won't stop to bleeding or is the hate.

As the young men move out into the battle zone

he feels good with god you're never alone

he feels so tired and he lays on his bed

hopes the men will find courage

in the words that he's said.

Sky pilot, sky pilot, how high can you fly

you'll never never never reach the sky.

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 really well

if it all was worth in only time it will tell.

In the morning they returned with tears in their eyes

the stench of death drifts up to the skies

a young soldier so it looks at the sky bright

remember the words thou shalt not kill.
