Hmm, your design is a bit confusing...
Here attached a version that does what you expect (I think).
Best,
Gilles
\version "2.6.3"
melody = \relative c' {
\voiceTwo g4 a b
\oneVoice c4 e e e2
\voiceTwo d2 d c
\bar ".|."
}
other = \relative c' {
\voiceOne g4 a b
s4 s s s2
\voiceOne d2 d c
}
theMusic = \new Staff <<
\context Voice = "other" { \other }
\context Voice = "melody" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \new Lyrics { This is the first line of text
for the music }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "other" \new Lyrics { This is the second line text }
>>
\score {
\theMusic
\layout {}
}
