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

How how 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 fear in the forthcoming fight
Soon there'll be blood and many will die
Mothers and fathers back home they will cry.

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 and he lays on his bed
Hopes the men will find courage in the words that he said.

Those soldiers who've gone you must understand
The fate of your country is in your your hand.
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 returned with tears in their eyes.
The stench of death drifts up to the skies.
A young soldier so ill
looks at the Sky Pilot.
Remembers the words
"Thou Shalt Not Kill".
