Stranger in Paradise

Stranger In Paradise -Sun Ra

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 commonplace

Into the rare

Somewhere in space

I hang suspended

Until I know

There's a chance that you care

Won't you answer the 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 he need be

A stranger no more
