A beautiful, clever song. I'm disappointed that no one has commented. The recurring lyric " a change could happen any day" is the most important -- this is the message that the protagonist is repeatedly telling himself. This is most significantly a self-realization that this person needs to " be free" of their problems and make a significant change in their life. Perhaps agoraphobia? This person is encouraged to come out of the "shadows", and experience life, to experience religion, to overcome their fear although it may sometimes feel like a "mountain". Instead of, like most songs, a lesson TO nature, this is a learning experience FROM a care-free whippoorwill.
