Oh baby, your face is dark, and your eyes are wild.
Oh baby, you look to me as if you’re still a child.

Your innocence to me is so hard to believe,
Just a spell in my past, tell me, how long will you last.

Oh baby, you stole my lonely heart for you.
Oh baby, I wanna tell you what you can do.

I no longer care about the things we shared, you always had your way.
Won’t you find a place today, won’t you find a place to stay.

About Lyrics and Karma by Journey

The lyrics for Karma are defined as the words making up the song released by Journey in 1977. It also includes the verses and words used by the background chorus in the song. Like many hit songs, the lyrics to Karma have different meanings to different people. While it is clear in some of the lyrics what the artist is trying to really say, only Journey and those working with them know all of the meanings behind all of the lyrics to their songs.

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Karma by Journey if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Karma" means the words set to the music of Karma, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Journey. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Karma and the lyrics to Karma are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Journey who came here looking just for the lyrics to Karma, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
