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.
Sadly, feral children tend to sicken and die very quickly when removed from the environment the grew up in, and tend to die very young even if left there.
