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 a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face ascending
Out of the commonplace and into the rare
As somewhere out in space I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that 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 this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
