No one's calling you an idiot.

In your example, you create a variable called text and then define it as
the first stanza. However, the second stanza is sort of just-- hanging out
there. Try renaming your first variable textOne and then before the second
\lyricmode add textTwo = , then in your score you will add two lyric lines
below the voice.

textOne = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"1. "

here are | %m1

the words | %m2

}


textTwo = \lyricmode {

\set stanza = #"2. "

here are | %m1

more words | %m2

}


 mySong = { c'2 d' e' f' }


 \score {

<<

\new Voice \mySong

\addlyrics \textOne

\addlyrics \textTwo

>>

}
