You could create an expression, in the appropriate size. Maestro Times has these brackets, but many other fonts, too.

As the brackets in text fonts are usually designed for the height of a single text line, they may look too bold if you use them at a higher font size required for multiple lyrics lines (7-10 is from text fonts, 1-6 from music fonts).

The thin bracket symbol

or
b) can be built from two symbols (bottom and top part) as in these fonts:
