. 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 her 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 she cares . 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 the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more . I saw her 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 she cares . 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 the strangers in paradise And tell us that we need be Strangers no more .
