Fool For Love
Sonia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer
Thought 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

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




Thought there's one motor gone
We can still carry on comin' in on a wing and a prayer

Overall Meaning

Sonia's song "Only Fools" is based on the popular wartime song "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer". The lyrics tell the story of a group of pilots who are returning from a mission, even though one of their planes has a damaged engine. The pilots are singing to keep their spirits up and to reassure themselves that they will make it back home safely.


The phrase "comin' in on a wing and a prayer" is an idiom that means to barely make it to the destination, usually by the sheer force of luck or determination. The pilots are risking their lives to complete their mission, but they are confident that they will succeed. The song expresses the theme of bravery in the face of danger and uncertainty, as well as the importance of trust and solidarity among a group of people facing a common challenge.


The song also deals with the painful reality of war and loss. The line "one of our planes was missing with all its gallant crew" is a grim reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers who never returned home. The pilots' determination to complete their mission despite the loss of their comrades reflects the resilience and strength of the human spirit.
