Hi Gabriel,

have a look at these manual pages: 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines> 
and 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#within_002dsystem-spacing-properties>. 
You’ll need something along the lines of

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.padding = 0.5
  }
}

HTH, Simon
