You want to add:

versetwo = \lyricmode {
  % Second line of words here
}

and then later, where you have:

\new Staff { \melody } \addlyrics { \verse }

you want:

\new Staff { \melody }
\addlyrics { \verse }
\addlyrics { \versetwo }

Note that the lyrics are not part of the staff, but are a separate
line in themselves so you can have as many of them as you want.

Hope this helps,

Joe
