In the soul of mankind
There has long been a fire
Over all other dreams
One burning desire
Break free from the earth
Like a slave from his chains
And be one with the wind and the rain
Loving the wind, lusting for space
The soul is at peace
In this magical place
The air is a mistress
No man can embrace
When in passing she kisses your face
Fly high where no eagle has ventured
And soar where no man's gone before
There's no place for me
On the land or the sea
So I'll take to the air
On a wing and a prayer
Brave are the hearts
Of these knights of the air
For to greatly achieve
They must equally dare
On missions of mercy
Or leaps into space
Other worlds, other dreams to embrace
Fly high where no eagle has ventured
And soar where no man's gone before
There's no place for me
On the land or the sea
So I'll take to the air
On a wing and a prayer
♪
And what of the future, what of the stars
Our path lies before us
They soon will be ours
The heavens lie waiting
With arms to enfold
The hearts of the brave and the bold
Fly high where no eagle has ventured
And soar where no man's gone before
There's no place for me
On the land or the sea
So I'll take to the air
On a wing and a prayer
Fly high where no eagle has ventured
And soar where no man's gone before
There's no place for me
On the land or the sea
So I'll take to the air
On a wing and a prayer
On a wing and a prayer
