Star Trek Enterprise Theme Song lyrics is the first lyrical theme used for opening credits of a Star Trek show. Sung by Russell Watson, talented opera tenor, it is often confused with "Faith of the Heart". True title is "Where My Heart Will Take Me". Faith of the Heart was soundtrack for "Patch Adams" performed by Rod Stewart. Same song with these two names was written by Diane Warren. She is Grammy Award winner, and multiple Oscar nominee.
Theme Song is available as standalone mp3 version for download. "Where My Heart Will Take Me" is available on Russell's second album - "Encore" and only slightly altered from TV show version. Star Trek Enterprise Season 3&4 had version with faster tempo. Lyrical version provoked lots of arguing in fan base, and that change spawned new.
Two episodes with alternate history, featured completely different Star Trek Enterprise Theme Song. The theme song and opening credits can be seen in season 4 under title "In a Mirror, Darkly".
Space shuttle Discovery on mission STS-114 played recording of "Where My Heart Will Take Me" on August 2, 2005 as wake-up call. The song was dedication from Deputy Manager Wayne Hale. Two years later on August 9, 2007 it was played during STS-118 mission as dedication to astronaut Rick Mastracchio. Next time it was played as wake-up call on STS-125 mission, which targeted Hubble Space Telescope. It was on May 23, 2009.

Lyrics - Where My Heart Will Take Me
Enterprise Theme Song Lyrics
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the winds right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna hold me down
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dreams come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna change my mind
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine
Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
It's been a long road
Oh, it's been long road

T'Pol, Vulcan girl would be my bet if you are interested in Enterprise - Star Trek casting crew! Aboard USS Enterprise she was scientific adviser and first officer. One of her personal quotes: "Spock was the sex symbol. A lot of people think it was Kirk. But, no, it was really Spock."
Her Earth name is Jolene K. Blalock (Scottish derivation of Black Loch, meaning "Black Lake"). She was born San Diego, California on March 5th 1975. She has a carrier as model and actor. Currently married to Michael Rapino with whom she lives in Los Angeles.
I found some Jolene Blalock pictures (posters) that you may find interesting. See them here!
Seriously, acting:
- USS Enterprise (yeah, the ship itself, designated NX-01 to show it's experimental nature.)
- Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) - Honestly, in first episodes of the show, Captain seemed like he was confused and lost, but later became more leadership prone. He was in personal connection with Enterprise, for his father designed the engine. Later conflict with Xindi put quite lot strain on him.
- T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) - What to say than apart from being smart, Vulcan look really hot! Joke, she was in role of special adviser and first officer... Cool, huh?
- Commander Tucker (Connor Trinneer) - Trip, he is Trip! He's combo of McCoy and Scotty - in one person! Sharing great deal of humor and brilliancy, made himself irresistible even to a T'Pol...
- Lt. Commander Reed (Dominic Keating) - Red Alert on starships should have been named after him,. so we would have Reed Alert, but history was unfair.... It was logical idea for security officer on board after all. He and Trip in combination made some of funniest episodes ever... Like two boys playing on their own playground.
- Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley) I wonder, why doctors in Star Trek play the Jokers role? Is it because they have to be weird, or is it because they are isolated... in sickbay?
- Lt. Mayweather (A.T. Montgomery) - Experience is good prerequisite for navigating distant stars... So, he was first helmsman on board.
- Ensign Sato (Linda Park) - Who would be better for role of communicator than real life multilingual person? She does know several languages... After all, somone had to understand languages before Universal translator became possible...
- Other minor characters

Star Trek: The Next Generation (often abbreviated to TNG) is the second live-action Star Trek TV series created by Gene Roddenberry as part of the Star Trek franchise. Set about 71 years after the original (Kirk, Spock, McKoy...) Star Trek in the 24th century, , the series featured a new crew and a new starship Enterprise. Premiere began on September 28, 1987 with the two-hour pilot "Encounter at Farpoint". May 23, 1994 with the finale "All Good Things..." ended 178 episodes long saga spread over seven seasons, concluding longest chapter than any other Star Trek series.
TNG cast after the end of the series continued the adventures with four of the Star Trek motion pictures. Star Trek Generations was first in a row, being final conclusion of first six motion pictures with The Original Series cast. It included crossover appearance of William Shatner, James Doohan, and Walter Koenig. Following movie: First Contact, after two years of pause, featured pure TNG cast and introduced new USS Enterprise-E engaging the Borg. Next sequel: Insurrection (1998) carries most resemblance to series with its crew characterization. Last movie: Nemesis (2002) brought definite conclusion to adventures of TNG crew.
Main casts: Patrick Stewart (Captain Pickard), Jonathan Frakes (Comander Ryker), Brent Spiner (Data), LeVar Burton(Gordy), Marina Sirtis(Troy), Michael Dorn(Worf), Gates McFadden(Dr. Crusher), Denise Crosby, Wil Wheaton....
Today, Star Trek DVD: The Next Generation is entirely available on DVD. It takes 49 disc hold complete seven seasons, with individual TNG seasons separately available. All seven seasons last 8085 minutes and contain valuable additional materials. Most people agree that most economic option is to buy entire box with all seven Next Generation seasons. It is to be expected that quantity of DVDs goes down and quality goes up after Star Trek: The Next Generation lands on Blu ray. It is for sure planned, but release date is yet to be published.
TNG Motion Pictures: available as single DVDs and boxed collections, they are available as TNG Motion Picture Collection [Blu-ray] too. Great about it is that all materials are remastered with improvements in field of CGI effects. Fun is with switching on the fly between old and new effects. As usual, entire collection is more affordable than individual discs. Boxed collection holds 5 discs with 522 minutes of film material and additional stuff.
