  • 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

    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 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 the stranger in paradise
    And tell him that we need be
    Our stranger no more Writer/s: George Forrest, Robert Wright
