Wild Child

There are some really special things around you, take time out to appreciate them. Be happy that they are in your life.

Ever close your eyes ever stop and listen ever feel alive and you've nothing missing you don't need a reason

let the day go on and on let the rain fall down everywhere around you give into it now let the day surround you you don't need a reason let the rain go on and on

mmm embrace you inner wild child. you definitely dont need a reason to do that...

You're never to busy to take a look around and enjoy what's there and what you've got. Take it all in while you can since you never know when's your last chance til it gone

despite all the downs in life, just enjoy it cuz it can only get better! Carpe Diem!

Do want you want, don't be afraid if it's too wild or not normal, live life and be happy. Don't let everything get you down, look around and realise there is alot to appreciate.

To me, personally, it speaks to rediscovering your "inner child". It says to run through the meadows and frolic and do somersaults and cartwheels and lay in the grass...play in the rain...be wild and undomesticated, like you were before the world came along and broke you.

Uhm I think people are straying. Enya's music is quite straight forward. I think by this she is talking about falling in love with a "wild child", or embracing an inner child.

i can relate to what smile said. very true. i love this song, it's so beautifully sung! i think the words really tell something i cannot explain. but still this is a very nice song. enya has a beautiful voice!!!

each of us is different. Embrace the beauty

There are people that exist called "Feral Children", which simply means they were separated from human beings during the years of life one usually learns languages and how to behave civilly. There are very dark cases of feral children being kept in a room or a basement for most of their lives by abusive caretakers, but in other cases, feral children (sometimes nicknamed wild children or "Wild child") grow up in the wilderness with no human contact.

I think Enya is talking more about the wild child that grows up in the wilderness, free as a bird and not caught up in the trivial things that us "civilized" humans worry about and trifle with.

The child is just living their lives, naturally and happily in nature.

"You don't need a reason let the rain go on and on."

Everyone desperately looks for a reason to be living, while they don't realize, they should just be living. The wild child doesn't care about tomorrow or next week, or next year. She/he just lives, and let's life happen to him/her instead of snooping around for meaningless things that shouldn't even play a part in anyone's life.

I love the musical accompantment to this song and I cant spell today!
