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
