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 this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be

A stranger no more
