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


Oh yeah
