Words and Music by Robert Wright
and George Forrest
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 the danger in
paradise For mortals who stand beside an
angel like you
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 this stranger in
paradise And tell him that she need
be A stranger no more
