Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
There's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
an angel like you
I saw your face ascending
Out of the common place
and into the rare
Now somewhere out in space
I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that
there's a chance that you care
Would 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 this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Aah-aah-aah
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
There's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside
an angel like you
I saw your face ascending
Out of the common place
and into the rare
Now somewhere out in space
I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that
there's a chance that you care
Would 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
A stranger no more
