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, a seeker finds the answers
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

Every time I start to feel like giving in
Love comes along to touch my heart and I start to give again
Oh...

So don't you count me out now
Each day just makes me stronger
And though I'm down and out now
I'll bounce right back again
As sure as there's a Lord above me
I know someday someone will love me
I know it happens every now and then

Every time I start to feel like giving in
Love comes along to touch my heart and I start to give again
Oh...

So don't you count me out now
Each day just makes me stronger
And though I'm down and out now
I'll bounce right back again
As sure as there's a Lord above me
I know someday someone's gonna love me
I know it happens every now and then

Thank God it happens every now and then
