You can use the “command” key for margindata to move the text in the text area.
\define[1]\PersonCommand
{\rlap{\hskip\leftmargindistance\relax#1}}
\definemargindata[Person][inmargin][style=normal,command=\PersonCommand]
\definelines[lyrics][align=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\Person{Person 1:}
\startlyrics
song asdf line 1
song line 2
song a line 3
\stoplyrics
\stoptext
