I don't know that this song is intentionally religious. I think the plain language is about people who always think the "grass is greener," either because of the relationship they're in, the place they live, their job, or some other thing they aren't satisfied with. I know from personal experience this type of attitude is a bad habit that is difficult to unlearn. There's always going to be something unsatisfying in a relationship, a job, or in the place you live in. Once you're old enough to actually look in the mirror and be honest with yourself, you start to discover that much of the problem is you. That is why a new relationship, job, or city never solves the problem. This song is about looking in the mirror, changing yourself and your attitude, being thankful for what you have and counting your blessings.
