Mason Jennings - 1997 Lyrics

Southern Minnesota in the year of 1997
There was a great natural light in the sky
And people ran in fear
And I was so concerned with the welfare
Of the woman standing nearest to me
That I didn't notice when it shown on both of us
Then disappeared

I asked her
Do you know what that was
And did it shine for only us?
Tell me do you know what that was
Was it a sign

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the year of 1987
There was a great natural light in the sky
And people ran in fear
And I was so concerned with the welfare

Then disappeared

I asked him
Do you know what that was
And did it shine for only us?
Tell me do you know what that was?
Was it a sign
I think it probably was

Was it a sign
I think it probably was
