[Intro: Akapela]
He blesses the boys as they stand in line
The smell of gun grease
And the bayonets they shine
He's there to help them all that he can
To make them feel wanted he's a good holy man

You'll never, never, never reach the sky

He smiles at the young soldiers

Tells them it's all right
Cm                                        Eb
He knows of their fear in the forthcoming fight
Cm                                   Eb
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
Cm
The order is given
     Eb
They move down the line
             Cm                               Eb
But he'll stay behind and he'll meditate
           Cm                                              Eb
But it won't stop the bleeding or ease the hate

 Cm                                                              Eb
As the young men move out into the battle zone
    Cm                                      Eb
He feels good, with God you're never alone
Cm                         Eb
He feels tired and he lays on his bed
Cm
Hopes the men will find courage
Eb
In the words that he said

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
           Eb
With tears in their eyes

The stench of death drifts up to the skies

A soldier so ill looks at the sky pilot

Remembers the words
Eb
"Thou shalt not kill"
