Just don’t know why I keep on tryin’
Must be a better way out
I hope I find it soon
Every night, I just can’t keep from cryin’
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin’ at the moon
Even my old dog
Keeps howlin’ at the moon
Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin’
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own
Even the tracks, they just a keep on linin’
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home

Oh, but bless the days and the many different ways
People try to love one another
And won’t you bless the times and the holy light that shine
Our cross has been brought asunder

Even the sun, it just a keep on shinin’
Pollyanna days when I was a child and on my own
Even the tracks, they just a keep on linin’
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home
I believe my master is just about to bring me home

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to The Master by The Doobie Brothers. 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 The Master" means the words set to the music of The Master, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Doobie Brothers. 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 The Master and the lyrics to The Master are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The Doobie Brothers who came here looking just for the lyrics to The Master, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
