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."
