I'll Find My Way Home is a song written by Jon Anderson and Vangelis. It was included on the second edition of Jon and Vangelis' 1981 album The Friends of Mr Cairo. The song was written after the initial release of The Friends of Mr Cairo, which commercially underperformed expectations set by the band. Following a dinner between the two, Vangelis informed Anderson of a chord sequence he was developing and invited Anderson over to finish it, which they accomplished over the span of three hours. It was issued as a single in November 1981 and reached the top ten in several European countries, including the UK Singles Chart. Upon the song's chart success, it was later appended to The Friends of Mr Cairo as the opening track.
You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near Don't question I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home My sun shall rise in the east So shall my heart be at peace And if you're asking me when I'll say it starts at the end You know your will to be free Is matched with love secretly And talk will alter your prayer Somehow you'll find you are there. Your friend is close by your side And speaks in far ancient tongue A seasons wish will come true All seasons begin with you One world we all come from One world we melt into one Just hold my hand and we're there Somehow we're going somewhere Somehow we're going somewhere You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is strong I know it can't be long No questions I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home
