Lyric
A Lyric (from the Greek) is a song sung with a lyre. Now, it is commonly used to mean a song of no defined length or structure.
A lyric poem is one that expresses a subjective, personal point of view.
I would be the Lyric
Ever on the lip,
Rather than the Epic
Memory lets slip.
—Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Lyrics are the written words in a song.
Lyric is also a classification of the human voice in classical singing. The adjective describes a quality and range at the upper end of the given voice part, e.g. lyric soprano.
