Zodiac movie - Sky Pilot lyrics
rate meSong by Eric Burdon and The Animals<br /><br>
He blesses the boys as they stand in line<br>
The smell of gun grease and the bayonets they shine<br>
He's there to help them all that he can<br>
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man<br>
Sky pilot.....sky pilot<br>
How high can you fly<br>
You'll never, never, never reach the sky<br>
<br>
He smiles at the young soldiers<br>
Tells them its all right<br>
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight<br>
Soon there'll be blood and many will die<br>
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry<br>
Sky pilot.....sky pilot<br>
How high can you fly<br>
You'll never, never, never reach the sky<br>
<br>
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile<br>
The order is given<br>
They move down the line<br>
But he's still behind and he'll meditate<br>
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate<br>
As the young men move out into the battle zone<br>
He feels good, with God you're never alone<br>
He feels tired and he lays on his bed<br>
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said<br>
Sky pilot.....sky Pilot<br>
How high can you fly<br>
<br>
You'll never, never, never reach the sky<br>
You're soldiers of God you must understand<br>
The fate of your country is in your young hands<br>
May God give you strength<br>
Do your job real well<br>
If it all was worth it<br>
Only time it will tell<br>
<br>
In the morning they return<br>
With tears in their eyes<br>
The stench of death drifts up to the skies<br>
A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot<br>
Remembers the words<br>
"Thou shalt not kill"<br>
Sky pilot.....sky pilot<br>
How high can you fly<br>
You never, never, never reach the sky<br>
<br>
