Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
[Bridge]
This is too good to be true
Look at me
Falling for you
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
[Chorus]
Believe it or not
I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
[Chorus]
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me
[Outro]
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air
I never thought I could feel so free
Flying away on a wing and a prayer
