And there's three, count 'em three  Children playing on the beach  They were eager to learn,  To be taught and to teach    There's Veronica  She's biting her lip  As she watches the waves turn white at the tip  And there's Vada  Radiating with joy  And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy  And lastly there's Dade  His hair dances in the wind  And he's wondering what love is  And why it has to end    And he can't understand  How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends  His mother whispers quietly...  Heaven's not a place that you go when you die  It's 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 there's three, count 'em three  Children growing on the beach  They were eager to learn,  To be taught and to teach    There's Veronica  She's licking her lips  As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss  And there's Vada  Can't admit her jealousy  Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)  Lastly there's Dade  Still sitting on the dock  Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks  And he wonders when his father will return  But he's not coming back    And he can't understand  How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends  His mother whispers quietly...  Heaven's not a place that you go when you die  It's 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 there's 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 didn't 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, heaven's not a place that you go when you die  It's 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  Love's completely real, so forget anything that you've heard  And live for the moment now
