The Mighty Handful - We Had the Rock / Lost Boys Lyrics

We had the Rock
We had the Rock
We had the music in our souls

Young dudes - legends in the making
We tuned in and we turned up to 10
Played it loud
And planned our fame
It was just a matter of when

We had the gear, the girls, the perms
And roadies who would do it for love
Tight spandex and hightop pumps
But for Glenn the small time wasn't enough

The dream of wealth and grandeur
Flowed through our veins
Maybe the music
The music kept us sane?

We had the Rock
We had the music in our souls
We had the Rock
How did we ever let it go?
We had the Rock

Meanwhile Dan recorded everything
We'd listen in the back of his car
Posterity on cheap cassettes
We'd marvel at just how good we were

The sights and sounds and smells
Of merry youthful pride and conceit
We sat back and waited for
The record deal to land at our feet

We knew we talked a good fight
But in the end
We didn't make the sacrifices
Needed to contend

We had the Rock
We had the music in our souls
We had the Rock
How did we ever let it go?
Ever let it go?
We had it!

The world moved on around us
Left us behind
Ghosts of what could have been
Burning in our minds

We had the Rock
We had the music in our souls
We had the Rock
Why did we ever let it go?

Ever let it go, ever let it go
We had the Rock!

Music was supposed to be our focus
The life and light we could always see
The Beacon became at once our fortress
And comfortable prison of complacency
