Song Lyrics
Look at what’s happened to me
I can’t believe it myself
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world
It should have been somebody else
Believe it or not I’m walkin on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it or not it’s just me
Just like the light of a new day
It hit me from out of the blue
Breaking me out of the spell I was in
Making all of my wishes come true
Believe it or not I’m walkin on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it or not it’s just me
This is too good to be true
Look at me falling for you
Believe it or not I’m walkin on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it or not it’s just me
Believe it or not I’m walkin on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it or not it’s just me
Believe it or not I’m walkin on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flyin away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be
Believe it or not it’s just me
