Adding text above comment box

You may be able to do what you want by adding an action to the
‘comment_form_before’ hook. Try adding something like this to your functions.php:

add_action( 'comment_form_before', 'my_pre_comment_text' );

function my_pre_comment_text() {
	echo '<div class="mytext"><p>I want some text here before the comments.</p></div>';
}

Of course, you will probably also need to add some styling.

Where is the comment_form_before hook located? I cannot find it in the functions.php.

The code I gave goes into your functions.php. comment_form_before hook is built into WP – it is not in the theme’s files.

But, be careful, you may need to enclose the code in php tags. If you make a mistake, you may not be able to log in to your site to correct it. Don/t add the code unless you are sure it is going to be OK.
