He blesses the boys as they stand in line
They 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

Cm How high can you Bbfly
You'll Cmnever (never) (never) reach the Bbsky
He sCmmiles at the young soldiers, tells tEbhem it's all right
He kCmnows of their fear in the fEborthcoming flight
SCmoon there'll be blood and mEbany will die
MCmothers and fathers back hFome they will cry
repeat Chorus
He mumbles a prayer and it ends with a smile
The order is given, they move down the line
But he stay'll sic behind and he'll meditate
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate
And 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
repeat Chorus
2:49 twin guitar solo over Bb

3:56 bagpipes enter, guitars fade
5:01 bagpipes and effects fade; acoustic guitar and bass enter
Eb 4X; strings enter 3rd time

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 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"
repeat Chorus, 2X
You'll nCmever (never) (Ebnever) reach the Bbsky
