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

I'm 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 that fervent prayer

Of a stranger in Paradise

Don't send me in dark despair

From all that I hunger for



But open your angel arms

To a stranger in Paradise

And tell her that she need be

A stranger no more
