Worlds 2000 - A Long Road
Faith of the Heart
Rod Stewart
(Click here to hear accompanying music.)

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 going to hold me down no more
No they're not going to 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
And no one's going to bend or break me
I can reach any star
Cause I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Tryin' 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 going to hold me down no more
No they're not going to change my mind

CHORUS

I've known a wind so cold
I've seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel
Are only winds of change
I've been to the fire
And I've been to the rain
But I'll be fine

CHORUS

"When you miss the first jump like I did, it knocks the wind out of you. I just dug deep and kept going. I wasn't going to give up. If I keep that never-say-die attitude, I always end up at the top. It was a very tough evening and a very tough year. It felt very good. It's been a rough road, but I got through it."

"I put in a lot this year. I'm proud of what I've done. This medal ranks high with me because of the situation and everything I went through in mind, body and spirit to get back to this level. It ranks very high. Near the top."

"It's not about landing quads.
It's about never giving up."

"I love the process. That's where you learn everything from. Winning is the easy part. Going up there and getting your medal, that's the easy part. It's the process in getting there that changes everything."

 

"I had to go through a real bumpy ride to get through it all. But I finally found out why I do this. It's because I love competing. I love the challenge of coming back when everybody's saying it's not possible. And that's what has happened this year."

 
No matter what has come towards me
or what has been put in my road as a hurdle,
I'll always take up the challenge, no matter what.
