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
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
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
