Lyrics
You ask me where to beginAm I so lost in my sinYou ask me where did I fallI’ll say I can’t tell you whenBut if my spirit is lostHow will I find what is nearDon’t question I’m not aloneSomehow I’ll find my way homeMy sun shall rise in the eastSo shall my heart be at peaceAnd if you’re asking me whenI’ll say it starts at the endYou know your will to be freeIs matched with love secretlyAnd talk will alter your prayerSomehow you’ll find you are there.Your friend is close by your sideAnd speaks in far ancient tongueA seasons wish will come trueAll seasons begin with youOne world we all come fromOne world we melt into oneJust hold my hand and we’re thereSomehow we’re going somewhereSomehow we’re going somewhereYou ask me where to beginAm I so lost in my sinYou ask me where did I fallI’ll say I can’t tell you whenBut if my spirit is strongI know it can’t be longNo questions I’m not aloneSomehow I’ll find my way homeSomehow I’ll find my way homeSomehow I’ll find my way homeSomehow I’ll find my way home
