Faith Of The Heart
Rod Stewart · Other Songs - Rod Stewart
Gettin 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
(Chorus)
'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 going to bend nor break me
I can reach any star
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 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)
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)

Rod Stewart's "Faith Of The Heart" stands as a quintessential example of his mid-career rock and roll, blending his signature vocal delivery with the polished production of the 1970s. Released during a period where Stewart solidified his status as a global icon, the track exemplifies the genre's enduring appeal, capturing the essence of romantic optimism and youthful exuberance.

Stewart's ability to navigate between gritty blues influences and mainstream pop sensibilities is evident here, showcasing a musical style that has defined his legacy for decades. The recording serves as a reminder of the era's vibrant sound, where personal storytelling met high-energy instrumentation, cementing the song's place in the canon of classic rock anthems.
