"Faith of the Heart" is a song written by Diane Warren and originally performed by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack to the 1998 film Patch Adams. Stewart's version charted at number 3 on the US Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and at 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. Although it was expected to do well, it was outperformed by her subsequent single.
It was also recorded by English tenor Russell Watson as "Where My Heart Will Take Me" in order to be used as a theme to the 2001 television series Star Trek: Enterprise, but was received poorly by fans in its use for that purpose. This version of the single was used on four occasions as wake-up calls onboard Space Shuttle missions, and performed by Watson at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Watson also recorded a special version of the song to be played for the final wake up of the New Horizons exploration spacecraft on December 6, 2014.
"Faith of the Heart" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1998 film Patch Adams. It was released on the Universal Records label and produced by Guy Roche. The B-side of the release was the main title theme to the film. The song was released less than a month after his a separation from wife Rachel Hunter.
The song was most successful in the Billboard Adult Contemporary within the United States, reaching third place in the chart. The performance of the single placed it in twentieth spot on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for the year end 1999.
