Stanger In Paradise

Stanger In Paradise - Edmund Hockridge

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 as I ascended

Out of the common place and into the rare

Somewhere out in space I hang suspended

Until I'm certain that 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
