Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise

All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise

For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare somewhere
In space I hang suspended

Until I know there's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair

From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
