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

The lyrics of “Eagles” are reminiscent of a Psalm of lament, where the writer/singer is crying out to God for strength in a troubled time and proclaiming their trust in Him. Psalms of lament form the largest genre in the book of Psalms, and there are many examples, such as Psalm 22 and Psalm 142 (further examples).
