Karaoké Sky Pilot The Animals

He blesses the boys as they stand in line

The smell of gun grease and 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

You'll never reach the sky

He smiles at the young soldiers

Tells them it's alright

He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight

Soon there'll be blood and many will die

Mothers and fathers back home they will cry

Sky pilot oh

Sky pilot oh

How high can you fly

You'll never reach the sky

He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile

The order is given

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

As the young men move out into the battle zone

He feels good

With God you're never alone

He feels so tired as he lays on his bed

Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said

Sky pilot oh

Sky pilot oh

How high can you fly

You'll 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 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 lifts up to the skies

A young soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot

Remembers the words

Thou shalt not kill

Sky pilot

Sky pilot

How high can you fly

You'll never reach the sky

Sky pilot

Sky pilot

How high can you fly

You'll never reach the sky

You'll never reach the sky

You'll never reach the sky

You'll never reach the sky

You'll never reach the sky
