a stranger in paradise

Neil Diamond

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 your 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 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 he need be
A stranger no more
