• "The Tide"

    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
    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
