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.[2]
