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’d care
Won’t you answer the 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 a stranger in Paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
