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 a 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
