Ed Sheeran’s newborn is already his little muse.
“Welcome to the world/I heard your heart beat and lost every word/Just stood there quietly taking in the sound/Of our love,” Sheeran, 31, sings. “This is gonna hurt/But I stand beside you, for better or for worse/And I will find you whenever you’re lost/I’ll be right here.”
In the second verse, he continues, “Welcome to the world/Through all the pain, you’re a diamond in the dirt/Don’t let them change you, words are only words/Just like I loved you/And yes, you were the first/Brought a new beginning, bright and unreserved/A beautiful red flower in the earth will grow, and I know.”

“I just found that I really didn’t have purpose outside of [music] because when I was giving myself fixed time of no work, I wasn’t doing anything I enjoyed because I love doing music,” Sheeran said. “And [being a dad] has actually given me purpose and something in life that’s actually more important than my job.”
