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. /
Oh, won't you answer this loving prayer / of a stranger in paradise? / Don't send me in dark despair / for all that I hunger for. / But open your angel eyes / to the stranger in paradise, / and tell him that he will be / a stranger no more. /
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. /
