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 the 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
