Though both of your opinions make sense, I think that it's about the guy wondering about his purpose in life ("there's a great old time for you to wonder why you are here") and where he's going ("to greet a day when I can see two feet in front of me"). There are parts that I don't really get, but maybe "can't stay forever I know it" means that he knows that he can't stay on Earth for as long as he wants. And maybe, "it's not resolving in all these words" means that, he can speak and think about it, but he still doesn't get his purpose in life. "To be free of life if we can stand out in the rain" might mean that when he's in the rain, it's like nothing else is there.
I could take the time to figure out everything else, but my idea seems a bit far-fetched with the lyrics as it is, so I'll just leave you (and myself) to ponder that for a while, hehe.
