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 common place
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 strangers in paradise
and tell him that he need be
a stranger no more.
