Where My Heart Will Take Me
"Where My Heart Will Take Me" is the main title song of  played over the opening title sequence. Originally titled "", it was written by Diane Warren and originally performed by Rod Stewart for the 1998 movie Patch Adams. 

At the conclusion of ENT Season 1, Brannon Braga acknowledged fan feedback on the theme song ("some love it, some hate it... [but] it's staying.")

Lyrics

Full length version
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 a 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.

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. 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'll finally have my day.
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.

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. No one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith.
Faith of the heart.

I've known the 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. 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.

Star Trek: Enterprise version
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 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.

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.
