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 the 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
