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 her I saw her 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 she cares 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 the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more I saw her 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 she cares 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 the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more
