"Stranger In Paradise" lyrics

"Stranger In Paradise"

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 a stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
