(harold adamson & jimmie mchugh)

One of our planes was missing
Two hours overdue
One of our planes was missing
With all it's 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 our 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
Were comin in on a wing and a prayer
