One of my favorite Christian music artists is Rebecca St. James. Now some of you may be asking "why is this part of your P/T page?" Well, keep reading, and I'll explain.
I first heard about Rebecca two years ago, when she was interviewed by Brio. I picked up her first album and immediately fell in love with her music.
When I got into Voyager, my like for Rebecca's music didn't fade. In fact, the two came together when one day, I happened to turn on my Rebecca CD while I was watching "Displaced" with the sound off. As I watched the interaction between Tom and B'Elanna, and listened to one of my favorite Rebecca songs, it suddenly hit me that without knowing it, she had written one of the perfect Paris/Torres songs I've ever heard!
If I had a way to make sound files, I would link a sound file so you could hear the song, but I can't, so I'll at least give you the lyrics.
So here it is--the song she hadn't meant to be P/T, but it is (thank you bunches, Rebecca) - "Side by Side".
"Side by Side"
by Rebecca St. James
(from her debut, self-titled album released by Forefront - 1994)
Chorus:
Side by side by side by side
Walking together is the way it should be
Oh, side by side by side by side
When you're needing somebody
Depend upon me
We'll travel on this journey of life
Side by side.
Every day of my life,
every valley I face
I know you'll always be there
Every step that I take
Let's keep our eyes on the Father above
I need you, you need me, we need love.
Side by side by side by side
Walking together is the way it should be
Oh, side by side by side by side
When you're needing somebody
Depend upon me
We'll travel on this journey of life
Side by side.
No need to go by yourself
find a way on your own
You're never out of sight
Even when you're alone
And I'll stay closer than a brother to you
Arm in arm, hand in hand, two by two.
Side by side by side by side
Walking together is the way it should be
Oh, side by side by side by side
When you're needing somebody
Depend upon me
We'll travel on this journey of life
Side by side.
(Repeat chorus)
Soon to come: "Side by Side" - the series!
