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,                       
They waited for a word,                            
Then a voice broke through the humming             
And this is what they 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!                         
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.
