How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Riot!’s ninth track is a prayer to God, where Hayley asks to be made whole again. Being broken is common Christian imagery for being dirtied by sin and Jesus comes to make people whole. The lines “everyone will have a choice” and “arms like towers” further this because it is a conscious choice to leave your life of sin to follow God and in many contemporary Christian music, being wrapped in the arms of God is an often used phrase for comfort and safety in the love of God.
