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 shone 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 shone 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."

"Was it a sign?

I think it probably was."
