This tune seems to have a quite curious backstory...
Faith of the Heart
en.wikipedia.org
... "Faith of the Heart" is a song written by Diane Warren and performed by Rod Stewart, for the soundtrack to the 1998 film, Patch Adams. Stewart's version charted at number 3 on the US Adult Contemporary chart and number 60 on the UK Singles Chart. It was warmly received by critics. The song was later covered in 1999 by Susan Ashton for her album Closer and released as her first single in the country music genre.
It was also recorded by English tenor Russell Watson as "Where My Heart Will Take Me" for use as the opening theme to the 2001 television series Star Trek: Enterprise. ...
Notably, at the time, it was the first Star Trek theme song to have lyrics.
And, imo, those lyrics are excellent.
OK, now when I search for lyrics, and include Rod Stewart, the lyrics appear.

Faith of the Heart

...
[Verse 1]
It's been a long road
Gettin' from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna hold me down
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm goin' where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anythin'
I've got strength of the soul
No one's going to bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith (I've got faith)
Faith of the heart
[Verse 2]
It's been a long night
Tryin' to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
[Pre-Chorus]
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No, they're not gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm goin' where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anythin'
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's going to bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith (I've got faith)
Faith of the heart
[Bridge]
I know the wind's so cold
I've 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
[Chorus]
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm goin' where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anythin'
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's going to bend nor break me
I can reach any star
(I've got, I've got)
I've got faith
Faith of the heart
I'm goin' where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
And no one's going to bend nor break me
I can reach any star
'Cause I've got faith
'Cause I've got faith
Faith of the heart
[Outro]
It's been a long road

Wow, Sir Rod Stewart hit it out of the park on this one.
