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 common place
into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
until I know
there's a chance
that you 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 the stranger
in paradise
And tell him
that he need be
a stranger no more
I saw your face
and I ascended
out of the common place
into the rare
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
until I know
there's a chance
that you 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 the stranger
in paradise
And tell him
that he need be
a stranger no more
