About the Song
“I was honoured to be asked to write a song — Find Your Way Back Home — to support the fundraising for an amazing new building in New Zealand. It’s called HomeGround and is being developed by the Auckland City Mission to create a path for many of our people to find their way back home.
I was so grateful to have the talent and support of my Fleetwood Mac bandmates Stevie, Christine and Mike, along with my son Elroy and fellow Kiwi singer Georgia Nott, to help me make this recording.
Stream the song here with all royalties going to the Mission.
I have always been aware of how important the City Mission is in our community, representing and supporting every day the homeless people of Auckland. Now more than ever, as we shelter in place I am reminded that everyone deserves to have a home where they can feel safe and be well.
I hope you enjoy this recording of Find Your Way Back Home. To find out more about the incredible building or make a donation, go to Auckland City Mission: Homeground.“

Lyrics
The memory is easy
Somehow I never got to say farewell to you
It’s been a long, lonely path for you
I was keeping all my thoughts inside
When I saw you on the street tonight
(Ooh ooh…)
Oh my, it’s like staring at an empty page
When the story’s gonna have to be laid
Hoping that you find your way
I’m hoping that you find your way back
Hoping that you find your way back home in time
In your own time
We are related
I could be the one that could clear a path for you
(I could clear a path)
Instead of the one that would look away from you
Have a mind if you care
Love will always find you there
(Ooh ooh…)
Coming in on a wing and a prayer
Hoping that you find your way
I’m hoping that you find your way back
Hoping that you find your way back home in time
(In time…)
I’m helping you to find your way
Knowing that you’ll get there one day
Helping you to find your way back home in your own time
In your own time
Someone I knew
I’m sending out a smile to you
Helping you to find your way
Helping you to find your way back home
Helping you to find your way
You’re gonna find your way back home
Sooner or later
(Find your way…)
You are the one that could clear a path
Come on home, baby
(Find your way…)
One of these days it’ll come to pass
Sooner or later
(Find your way…)
No, you’re gonna find your way back home
Knowing that you’re gonna way your way
Sooner or later
