"Wonder Child" is a Sesame Street song written from the point of view of an adult singing to a child about how a child's sense of wonder about the world can make an adult see the world in the same way, too.
Two versions of the song were produced for season 6, one played and sung by Richie Havens (First: Episode 0742โโ), and another sung by Helen Reddy. (First: Episode 0774)
