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 to stand beside
an angel like you
I saw your face
and I ascended
out of the commonplace
and into the rare
And somewhere out in space
I hang suspended
until I'm certain that
there's a chance that you would 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
and open your angel's arms
to a stranger in paradise
and tell him that he need be
a stranger no more
No more that he need be
a stranger in paradise
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 to stand beside
an angel like you
I saw your face
and I ascended
out of the commonplace
and into the rare
And somewhere out in space
I hang suspended
Until I'm certain that
there's a chance that you would 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 a stranger in paradise
and tell him that he need be
a stranger no more
No more that he need be
a stranger in paradise
