"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 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 that you'd 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's arms
To a stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more
