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 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

.

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
