Most every one speaks in one form or another, most of us have imagination and memory.... a great number can also read and write.... So coming up with a string of words that can be a lyric or poem can be very natural for the great majority...

Knowing and playing a few chords is not melody writing.... many lyric writers, write their lyric to a melody.... but do not have the fundamental tools to translate that to a form that a "few chord" musician can play especially if they sing in different keys... Sure I can come up with a passable melody... but compared to a composer with talent ...all the "complete" songs sound the same...

What makes a great craftsman is knowing your limitations and finding the ways overcome them that leads the end result being as good as it can get.
