The common answer is that air flowing over the top speeds up because of the camber of the wing, this sped up air causes low pressure on top of the wing which causes the wing to 'lift'. This is true but also the angle of attack of the wing to the relative airflow forces airflow down, which also in turn pushes the wing up. This can be shown simply by the fact that aerobatic airplanes with symmetrical airfoils fly just fine (with no camber whatsoever).
So it is a combination of low pressure on top of the wing and the angle of attack of the wing forcing airflow down, which forces the wing up.
