Colliding lyrics
Sib is still quite poor at handling text of any kind. It's one of it's biggest disappointments for me.
However, have you tried selecting the bars and resetting note spacing? ([ctrl][shift]n)
Changing the note spacing rule for lyrics to a larger amount?

Common reason for this is users choosing to put too many bars in a system, and not allowing Sibelius (even with its quirks about text) to flow the music.
And I find the default text size a bit large, so I usually simply reduce it, then select all and reset note spacing.
Goes without saying that, like all layout issues, this is best done once you're absolutely sure that you're not going to be making more changes to notes and lyrics etc.

Thanks. I don't know much about Sibelius and manipulating text. I'm learning. I do see that changing up font size on some words helps. Also, I can click on a word, then use arrow keys left and right to move it, about a pixel at a time. That really helps.
