What solution? This is a new posting, not a reply.

An override has to be specified before the lyric you expect it to
modify. So \asterisk must precede the word "text" because you're
attaching the "*" to that word.

If you specify   text \asterisk, by the time LP encounters
\asterisk, the word "text" has already been typeset: you're
too late to affect it.
