Ed Sheeran's new album, "Divide," is finally out. The grammy award-winning artist released his work on March 3, 2017. You better believe the fans are going crazy. In the album, Ed mentions his lack of a college education. He may not have a degree, but he's certainly a lyrical genius. Here is a list of lyrics from each song that display his brilliance.

"I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong."

2. "Castle on the Hill"

"I still remember these old country lanes when we didn't know the answers."

"I could fall, or I could fly here in your aeroplane and I could live, I could die hanging on the words you say."


4. "Shape of You"

"Your love was handmade for somebody like me."

5. "Perfect"

"When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight."

6. "Galway Girl"

"She played the fiddle in an Irish band, but she fell in love with an English man."

7. "Happier"

"My friends told me one day I'll feel it too and until then I'll smile to hide the truth but I know I was happier with you."

8. "Hearts Don't Break Around Here"

"Took my heart on a one-way trip guess she went wandering off with it."

9. "New Man"

"Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means, but I heard he makes you happy, so that's fine by me."

10. "What Do I Know?"

"We could change this world with a piano add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go."

11. "How Would You Feel (Paean)"

"Love flows deeper than the river every moment that I spend with you."

12. "Supermarket Flowers"

"It's tearing me up, but I know that a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved."

"So I'll sing Hallelujah you were an angel in the shape of my mum."

"When God takes you back He'll say, 'Hallelujah you're home.'"

13. "Barcelona"

"I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes. I guess that is destiny doing it right. "

14. "Bibia Be Ye Ye"

"And in the pocket of my jeans are only coins and broken dreams."


15. "Nancy Mulligan"

"Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing borrowed clothes. We got eight children, now growing old, five sons and three daughters."

16. "Save Myself"

"And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf, no farewell. So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself."

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
