i like how the song starts off with the author musing on what a great time in history he gets to live through. But that final line suggests an element of choice, as though having now decided to reflect on this great time he realizes that he 'spotted a great time' to be alive, as though he chose it for himself.
I guess it could be interpreted in some kind of religious way, as though there was point when he was in heaven (or wherever) and decided that he'd like to be on earth now. But think its simpler than that.
I think the final line, by suggesting that he chose the right time to exist, is really saying that he spends alot of time technically living, but not really alive...
So in this point in the song he's just glad he stepped back from the hustle hustle and enjoyed the moment for what it is.
