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 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 
 
Oh yeah
