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.

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
