Intro: 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 Bridge 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 you 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 arms to this stranger in paradise And tell him that he need be a stranger no more
