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 the stranger in paradise
And tell him that
he need be
A
stranger no more
