You know something, greenherb? If you don't like a song, there's always an option to STOP LISTENING TO IT. Don't complain on here because you think "this song sucks" and "God must be an asshole". Even for someone who isn't religious, this (gasp) does actually have a deeper meaning to it, if you're willing to do more than listen to it and only take it at surface value.
Many times when I look around at the world, I see there's a lot that can crush your spirit and make you want to give up. Especially as you go from being a child to an adult and feel the squeeze of those added responsibilities that adults are made to take on, and it can feel like a lot sometimes! I think there are a lot of "Will"s in this world; individuals who live their lives from day-to-day and are thankful for each day they're given. They aren't weighed down by those pressures, and in their presence we're often reminded to let go of our own problems and learn to live every day to its fullest.
THAT is what I think Martina McBride wants us to take away from this song. Yes, it's about a disabled little boy, but it's also about more than that. It's about not letting all the pressures in life crush you and make you bitter and hard for the rest of your life. In this song, Will is just a personified symbol for cherishing all the small good things in life and remembering that life, no matter what your POV is on it, is a precious gift that shouldn't be wasted with bitterness and cynicism.
