Where My Heart Will Take Me is a song written by Diane Warren and performed by English tenor Russell Watson. Previously recorded as "Faith of the Heart" by Rod Stewart and again by Susan Ashton, the song was reworked and re-recorded as the themesong to the television series "". A version of the theme was also sung as the "Athlete's Theme" live by Russell Watson at the Opening Ceremony of the 2002 Commonwealth Games, in Manchester, UK.

On August 2, 2005, a recording of "Where My Heart Will Take Me" was played for the crew of the space shuttle "Discovery" as their morning wake-up call during the "Return to Flight" mission STS-114. The song was chosen as a special dedication from Deputy Shuttle Program Manager Wayne Hale.
