My pick for best song of 1980 is by Amy Grant: All I Ever Have To Be
LYRICS
When the weight of all my dreams is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of health and hope have all been nicely said
But I’m still hurting, wondering if I’ll ever be the one I think I am, I think I am
Then you gently re-remind me that you’ve made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best the more I get the worst
And I realize the good in me is only there because of who you are
Who you are
And all I ever have to be is what you’ve made me
Any more or less would be a step out of your plan
As you daily recreate me, help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do what I can find
And all I ever have to be, all I have to be
All I ever have to be, is what you’ve made me
