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
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
