I think this song is largely about religion. The most obvious clue is "Who put brown owl eyes on the butterfly’s wings"
"Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing"
There's several other lines that hint at religion as well. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Beautiful song, nevertheless. By far, my favorite song by James.
