The Catholic Church is not the only place that has suffered under mushy emotional liturgical music with theologically dumbed down lyrics but this effect is pervasive.<\/p>\n
Star Trek and all of the other spinoffs could be counted on for music that fit the theme of exploration of space. Ever since 2001: A space odyssey we could expect grand symphonic music to represent this genre. But after recently hearing the theme song for Enterprise I could have sworn it was written my Marty Haugen and was right out of a modern hymn book by OCP or GIA. It’s saccharine sound could have been performed by Survivor.<\/p>\n
This is not a parody and is the actual lyrics for Enterprise.<\/p>\n
“Faith of the Heart” written by Diane Warren and performed by Russell Watson. <\/p>\n
It’s been a long road getting from there to here
\nIt’s been a long time, but my time is finally near
\nand I can feel the change in the wind right now
\nNothing’s in my way
\nand they’re not gonna hold me down no more
\nNo they’re not gonna hold me down
\nCause I’ve got faith of the heart I’m going where my heart will take me
\nI’ve got faith to believe I can do anything
\nI’ve got strength of the soul and no one’s gonna bend or break me
\nI can reach any star, I’ve got faith, I’ve got I’ve got I’ve got faith… faith of the heart <\/p>\n
It’s been a long night trying to find my way
\nBeen through the darkness, now I’ve finally had my day
\nand I will see my dream come alive at last I will touch the sky
\nAnd they’re not gonna hold me down no more no they’re not gonna change my mind <\/p>\n
Cause I’ve got faith of the heart I’m going where my heart will take me
\nI’ve got faith to believe I can do anything
\nI’ve got strength of the soul and no one’s gonna bend or break me
\nI can reach any star, I’ve got faith, I’ve got I’ve got I’ve got faith… faith of the heart <\/p>\n
I’m going where the winds so cold, to see the darkest days
\nBut now the winds are free…only winds have changed
\nI’ve been to the fire and I’ve been to the rain
\nBut I’ll be fine cause I’ve got faith… faith of the heart <\/p>\n
Cause I’ve got faith of the heart I’m going where my heart will take me
\nI’ve got faith to believe I can do anything
\nI’ve got strength of the soul and no one’s gonna bend or break me
\nI can reach any star, I’ve got , I’ve got I’ve got I’ve got faith….faith of the heart
\nfaith of the heart I’m going where my heart will take me
\nI’ve got faith to believe and no one’s gonna bend or break
\nI can reach any star, cause I’ve got faith, cause I’ve got faith, faith of the heart <\/p \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
