Comin’ In On a Wing and Prayer

Jimmy McHugh, Harold Adamson

[Verse]
One of our planes was missing, two hours overdue
Yes, one of our planes was missing with all its gallant crew
The radio sets were hummin', they wait for their word
Then a voice broke through that hummin'
And this is what they heard

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
What a show (What a show)
What a fight (What a fight)
Yes, we really hit our target for tonight (Tonight)
How we'll sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there's a field over there
With our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer

[Bridge]
Glory be, hallelujah
Glory be, hallelujah!
Hallelujah on a wing and a prayer!

[Chorus]
What a show
What a fight
Yes, we really hit our target for tonight
How we'll sing as we limp through the air
Look below, there's a field over there
With our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
