StarSong US release

For the US release although the name was the same this is almost a different album. However the track listing is somewhat different, combining songs from the UK release and his earlier album, Passion For Your Name. Some believe this to be a rather uncomfortable blend of styles and prefer to UK releases as a result.

  1. "Believer" – 4:34
  2. "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" – 5:49
  3. "There Is a Louder Shout to Come" – 6:00
  4. "I Will Offer Up My Life" – 5:01
