This song is a great. I remember it being uplifting even though it about death and war. It is about a Sky Pilot or chaplain that has preach the word of God to men about to go into battle. It has the background sounds of air battle, but it could be any combat where one could die. Soldiers are about to go into battle for their country and may not return. Thus, the Sky Pilot gives them his blessings, encouragement, and prays that they return. However, many will not. All he can do is encourage them and tell them God is with them. However, this does not stop the people from experiencing the horrors of war. It's anti-war, surely. Thus, what does it mean? With war, we and the Sky Pilot never reach the sky or God. This is not what God meant for heaven and peace to be. It is the opposite and we have to live through the experience of sin and the fallen world.
