Lyrics

[Verse 1] '65 in Massachusetts, Alice at the beach Young kid drowning - she jumps in and pulls him from harm's reach She goes right to the middle of it, she goes right to the middle of it And here is the strangest thing. Are you listening? This is the riddle of it, this is the riddle of it Ten years later that boy from the sea saves a man who can't swim It's Alice's husband [Chorus] When you think ya got it figured out When you think ya know what life's about There'll be something that you can't explain When you think ya got it figured out Whеn you think ya know what life's about There'll bе something you can't give a name [Verse 2] January, New York morning: Hudson clear below Sullenberger damns the silence - his heart's an engine though He goes right to the middle of it, he goes right to the middle of it And here is the strangest thing. Are you listening? This is the riddle of it, this is the riddle of it He lands that bird like a fly on a pond Walks the length of it twice 'til he knows that he's done [Chorus] When you think ya got it figured out When you think ya know what life's about There'll be something that you can't explain When you think ya got it figured out When you think ya know what life's about There'll be something you can't give a name [Bridge] So you just hold on, you just hold on You don't know what good is coming You don't know what good can do Yeah you just hold on, you just hold on See all that good that's coming It's coming just for you Yeah you just hold on You just hold on... [Chorus] When you think ya got it figured out When you think ya know what life's about There'll be something that you can't explain When you think ya got it figured out When you think ya know what life's about There'll be something you can't give a name [Outro] Keep on holding on, keep holding Ya keep on holding on, keep holding Keep on holding on, keep holding Ya keep on holding on, keep holding
