Every now and then, a blind squirrel finds an acorn
Every now and then, a crippled sparrow takes to the wind
Lately that's what keeps me going
I find comfort just in knowing
That it happens every now and then

Every now and then, the Sun shines when it's raining
Every now and then, a down-and-outer finds a true friend
As sure there's a Lord above me
I know someday someone will love me
Thank God it happens every now and then

Every now and then, a seeker finds the answer
Every now and then, a loser learns how to win
I believe that some sweet evening
I'll find someone to believe in
I know it happens every now and then
Thank God it happens every now and then
