USA: Now that a song is playing, YouTube Music automatically tracks the lyrics. The audio streaming app will allow lyrics to be tracked in real time for any song that has been uploaded with lyrics. Each line of the lyrics will be highlighted when you call, and the Lyrics tab of the app will enlarge the text size for that line.
