God give us all talents but he doesn't give us all the same talents. Good thing He doesn't. He also gives talents in different measures. Everyone can write at least one song but not everyone will write it well and not everyone will have the desire to write a song. I think when God gives you a talent, He gives you the desire to be good at it and the desire to work at being good at it. I have no desire to be an actor, therefore that is not my gift. I had a desire to play hockey but had limited ability at it, mainly because of body size and shape (short legs, not ideal for skating lol). My one burning desire was to write songs, I realized I was not a natural guitar player or great singer, but I seemed pretty good with words. I did read one or two songwriting books and learned the basics, but most of the basics I was doing anyway, it came naturally.

I don't pretend to be the world's greatest songwriter but I believe I can write a decent song, but getting those songs heard in the right places, now that's something else, especially living where I do.
