Tommy Homonym - Ride a Wave lyrics

As I considered jumping out the window, something jumped in. My shadow turned to vapor, and I felt the world begin. I was new. I was free. It was a million years after and away from me. I was the very first mongoose to confront the ancient snake. I was the last ice age glacier to melt into a lake. I was anything but alone. It had been there all the time, and I had always known. Light is so fast; they say there's nothing faster. Let me ride a wave of light away from this disaster. The sunlight poured in through the gla** and scattered 'round my head. The dog and cat curled up together, golden on the bed. I couldn't help but cry. It would take a million words and days to tell you why. Light goes so far, in every possible direction. Let me ride a wave of light away from my reflection. Light is so strong; it will bend but never falter. Let me be the beam of light that falls upon the altar.
