I think that "Doing the Whirlwind", as killedpolitely has said, means just getting through problems--carrying on with hope, don't abandon, get a handle on yourself, etc. It means keeping control when under pressure or when everyone has given up on you (parents say you should live alone on a mountain top).
Basically, I think that a guy (from the "don't give up on yourself SON") is causing trouble for himself and family (drugs,etc) his family have lost hope and just want to be rid of him, but this girl has faith that he is still capable of change. She knows that he is affected by their words/advice ("he quivers when he hears your song"), and so she advises him to not give up and to continue through his problems and to maintain his hope in achieving something/becoming someone.
