Mason Jennings 1997 song 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

I think it probably was

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

Of my brother standing nearest to me

That i didn't notice when it shown on both of us

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
