This song embodies the "attitude of gratitude" that can instantly help you change your mood from sulking to satisfied.
This song is about celebrating happy little things: Soup, not having to shave...
The verse:
"It's been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown
Gave it my best and then I left it alone
Oh I hope they're doin' alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lone wolf there starin' back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord, I guess he's doin' alright"
I love this part. It poetically explains he's left his bygones behind him (which we all should). The wolf staring at him in the mirror represents his current troubles. He's not going to worry about his current troubles because they are "harmless".
Whenever everything seems wrong, bad, or just plain unfair. Be thankful for the things that are good and wonderful in this life. It will instantly make everyday a "Great day to be alive"!
