You looked for a verse environment, right?

This is my try, made with help of Hans:

\definestartstop
	[verse]
	[before={\blank%
			\setuplines[indenting=always]%
			\startalignment[right]\startlines},
	after={\stoplines%
			\stopalignment%
			\blank}]

"right" aligned is "raggedright", that is, left aligned.
somewhat confusing... ;-)

BTW: You named your environment "song":
Do you have experience with music setting via MusiXTeX, Lilypond... ?

Did anyone try to combine some music macros with ConTeXt?
(Will be my next task after completing this &%$#*& book...)
