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
  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
