SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions and the top level bodies of modules

[lmjaedentai]

I am running the example code given from node-genius-lyrics after installing the package through npm

const Genius = require("genius-lyrics");
const Client = new Genius.Client(myClientID);

const searches = await Client.songs.search("faded");

// Pick first one
const firstSong = searches[0];
console.log("About the Song:\n", firstSong, "\n");

// Ok lets get the lyrics
const lyrics = await firstSong.lyrics();
console.log("Lyrics of the Song:\n", lyrics, "\n");

But error occur:

const searches = await Client.songs.search("faded");
                 ^^^^^

Node.js v20.9.0

May I know how to fix this error? Any help would be appreciated.

They are just snippets of code. You need to put them in an async function to use them. Closing this as it's irrelevant.
