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 your face,

And I ascended

Out of the common place

Into the rarest 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

Hearing this song brought me back to childhood, dreaming one day....it might be 'okay' to be Gay in a grown-up world.
