Lyric Comin In On A Wing And A Prayer

(Harold Adamson & Jimmie McHugh)

One of our planes was missing
Two hours overdue
One of our planes was missing
With all its gallant crew
The radio sets were humming
We waited for a word
Then a noise broke
Through the humming and this is what we heard

Comin in on a wing and a prayer
Comin in on a wing and a prayer
Though there s one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin in on a wing and a prayer

What a show, what a fight, boys
We really hit our target for tonight
How we sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there s our field over there
With just one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin in on a wing and a prayer

Comin in on a wing and a prayer
Comin in on a wing and a prayer
With our full crew on board
And our trust in the Lord
We re comin in on a wing and a prayer
