Whatever We're Given — MICHAEL — Track 7

*WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN — FINDING YOU | TRACK 7* A love story inspired by a real marriage proposal across the Atlantic Ocean. Separated by thousands of miles, two people face difficult truths, an uncertain future, and the fear of losing one another. But love isn't about knowing how much time we have. It's about choosing who we want beside us for whatever time we're given. A deeply personal song about unconditional love, courage, and the promise that changed two lives forever. *Credits* Written by AD Stewart Presented by The Scribe's Voice Finding You — Track 7 *LYRICS* You thought the truth would make me leave, That knowing would change everything. You carried all that fear alone And called it protecting me. You thought if I stayed far enough, There'd be less for me to lose. But love, you don't get to spare my heart By making all my choices too. You finally told me everything. And nothing changed Except one thing— I'm more certain now. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I'll take every day I can with you. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I won't trade the truth for something safe. I don't need forever Written somewhere we can see. If tomorrow makes no promises, Then give me what today can be. I'd rather have this life with you Than never know what we could have been. Whatever we're given. So tell me this— If I were the one Who didn't know how long I had, Would you walk away to save yourself Or stay through good and bad? You didn't even hesitate. You said you'd take care of me. Then don't ask me To want anything less When you're the one I need. You gave your answer Without fear. So let me give you mine. I'm still here. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I'll take every day I can with you. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN Every mile, every fight we have to face. I don't need forever To know what I want now. I'd rather love you knowing I could lose you Than live without knowing how. Whatever we're given. I've known more than you realized. I've carried it longer than you knew. Every night I wondered If you'd finally trust me With the truth. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't settle. I hated being this far away. Not because I thought You needed saving— I just wanted the chance to stay. I can't promise I can fix this. Can't bargain with time. Can't swear nothing will ever hurt us. I won't tell you that lie. But I can promise I won't run Just because the ending isn't clear. And I won't let fear steal something We already found right here. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I want every piece of life with you. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN Every ordinary day we make it through. No perfect ending. No guarantees. No map telling us how long. Just you beside me, And the chance to build Something worth holding on. I'd rather know you And risk losing you Than spend my life wishing I had. Whatever we're given... I'll take it with you. You thought the truth would send me running. It didn't. You thought loving you would be too much to carry. It isn't. You thought I needed saving from what this might become. Love... I already chose. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I don't want a safer life. WHATEVER WE'RE GIVEN I know who I want beside me. However long. Whatever comes. However much we're allowed. I don't want someday. I want us. There was something I meant to ask you Before we said all the things we needed to say. And now that I know there's nothing left between us but the truth... I know exactly what I want. I want the mornings. I want the ordinary days. I want whatever time this life gives us. And I want you as my wife. Love... Marry me. #WhateverWereGiven #FindingYou #TheScribesVoice #OriginalMusic #MelodicRock #LoveSong #LongDistanceLove #MarriageProposal #TrueLove #RockBallad
