And theres three, count em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
Theres Veronica
Shes biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn white at the tip
And theres Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still cant stand the sight of a boy
And lastly theres Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And hes wondering what love is
And why it has to end
And he cant understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heavens not a place that you go when you die
Its that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
And theres three, count em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
Theres Veronica
Shes licking her lips
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss
And theres Vada
Cant admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica, and how shes so pretty (and how shes so pretty)
Lastly theres Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But hes not coming back
And he cant understand
How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends
His mother whispers quietly...
Heavens not a place that you go when you die
Its that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)
And theres three, count em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn,
To be taught and to teach
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father
She didnt even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless
No, heavens not a place that you go when you die
Its that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Loves completely real, so forget anything that youve heard
And live for the moment now
