Here you provide _one_ string, but wordwrap expects a markup-list like below.
We have wordwrap-string, though I would recommend to keep wordwrap and
change the string to a markup-list.
Basically use { ... } instead of "..."

{
  c'1
  -\markup
     %\box for visual checking dimensions
     %% adjust to taste:
     \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(-8 . 3)
     \override #'(line-width . 60)
     \wordwrap {
       This is a long text that widens the score because it can't protrude.
       Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod
     }
}

Further I'd always set the line-width for wordwrap(-string) used in
TextScript, otherwise the basic line-width is used not shortened to
the available space.

Cheers,
