This Lyrics
Got a baby girl sleeping in my bedroom
And her mama laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
I don't really know how I got here
But I'm sure glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could've changed all of it
Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned
Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or that college I wanted to go to
'Til I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All lead me here to you
I didn't understand it way back when
But sitting here right now, it all makes perfect sense
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
How I cried when my mama passed away
But now I've got an angel looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake
For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
It led me here to this
And her mama laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
But I'm sure glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could've changed all of it
Maybe that's why I'm such, such a lucky man
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
Who said she could do better
Or that college I wanted to go to
'Til I got that letter
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All lead me here to you
But sitting here right now, it all makes perfect sense
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
But now I've got an angel looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
'Cause it led me here to this
It led me here to this

To start off, it's a great song.
It's actually got some important messages.
The gist of it is that in order to reach the ultimate goal in your life - that is, a family and the job that you're seeking - you have to experience heartbreak, heartache, humiliation, being fired, having doors closed in your face and everything else related to that - you have to have bad experiences.
This line sums it up: "Every step that I didn't take, every chance I did or I didn't take. All the nights I went too far, all the girls that broke my heart. All the doors I had to close, all the things I knew but I didn't know. Thank God for all I missed, because it led me into this."
It typifies the definition and true meaning of the song. Every experience makes you a stronger person, a better person and a person that can deal with similar situations better.
