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 you care.

Won't you answer the 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 this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be 
a stranger no more.
