Adding custom content to $form
you could try using hook_form_alter()

For e.g.

&lt;?php
function your_module_name_form_alter(&amp;$form, &amp;$form_state, $form_id){
  if($form_id == 'your_form_id'){
    //First element in the form.
     $form['element']['#prefix'] = '&lt;div&gt;Your paragraph before the form.&lt;/div&gt;'
  }
}
?&gt;
