Every now and then A fellow comes along With pure intent Imbedded in song Lets the light on in And the light gets strong Every now and then A fellow comes along He could be preaching the gospel Or just pitching a tent Doing the impossible And ending up spent Every now and then Every now and then A fellow comes along The mountain is high And the road is long The rivers are wide When you can't go on But you got to get it up You've got to be strong Every now and then At night a light comes on He could be preaching the gospel Or pitching a tent Leaning toward new love And ending up bent Every now and then A fellow comes along
