Wild Child
Enya · Day Without Rain
Ever close your eyes?
Ever stop and listen?
Ever feel alive
And youÂ’ve nothing missing?
You donÂ’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 donÂ’t need a reason
Let the rain go on and on
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child
Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Every day you find
EverythingÂ’s in kilter
You donÂ’t need a reason
Let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
You donÂ’t need a reason
Let it all go on and on
What a day
What a day to take to
What a way
What a way to make it through
What a day
What a day to take to
A wild child

Wild Child
Enya's "Wild Child" serves as a haunting centerpiece on the 1988 album *Day Without Rain*. The track exemplifies her signature ethereal style, blending Celtic folk influences with atmospheric synthesizers and layered vocal harmonies. Released during a period where she was refining her approach to electronic textures while maintaining a distinct connection to traditional Irish melodies, the song contributes to the album's introspective and mystical mood. It stands alongside other tracks on the record as a testament to her ability to create immersive soundscapes that evoke a sense of timeless wonder, characteristic of her work from the late 1980s.
