Lyrics
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
They waited for a word
Then a voice broke thru the humming
And this is what they heard
Chorus
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer
Tho’ there’s one motor gone
We can still carry on
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer
What a show, what a fight
Yes, 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 our full crew aboard
And our trust in the Lord we’re
Comin’ in on a wing and a prayer
Performance
