"Wonder" was the second single from Natalie Merchant's solo album Tigerlily. The single was released in March of 1996. The covers for the U.S. and Europe singles were different. The single also included live cuts from Merchant's tour. Robert Buck plays guitar on this track with his signature style, reminiscent of Merchant's days with her former band, 10,000 Maniacs.

[edit] Lyrics

The lyrics of "Wonder" appear to discuss the phenomenon of a gifted child. It is unusual in that it is written from the child's point of view.
