By default, labels are centered vertically. As you add lines of text, it
should move in both directions. You can move the top line down, however, by
adding Space Before to the paragraph (right-click and choose Paragraph).
Alternatively, you could change the vertical alignment to Bottom; to do
this, however, you would have to be operating on a sheet of labels, accessed
via the New Document button in the Labels dialog.
