"Send Me on My Way" is a song by American worldbeat rock band Rusted Root. Originally released as a rough version on 1992's Cruel Sun, it was re-recorded in 1994 for their second album, When I Woke, and released as the lead single.[2] Root's frontman, Michael Glabicki, wrote the lyrics, and its other members – Liz Berlin, John Buynak, Jim Dispirito, Jim Donovan, Patrick Norman and Jennifer Wertz – contributed to the track.[2] It peaked at number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4]
While the song was not an immediate commercial success, it has since become an "iconic track of the 1990s", mainly due to its prominence in several movies and TV series, including Pie in the Sky, Matilda, Party of Five, Ice Age, Race the Sun and New Girl.[5][6]
