kar files are karaoke files and SONAR doesn't open them natively. It's really just seeing that there's MIDI data there and opening the file to display any MIDI data.
So you'll have to go on the net and find a Karaoke file player - lots of them around and see if when opening the file in that program ifyou can extract the lyrics from it. All the best
