Come in and leave your mind open
It's time we let love in
Mother, Father, I am broken
Barely breathing, but I'm hoping
There's forgiveness for my sins
I had a dream last night
And in that dream, I lost my sight
Life left me deaf, dumb, and blind, woke up to realize
We're still asleep with open eyes
We are building this house of love
Building this house, building this house
This is the people's house
From sea to shining sea
The Rocky Mountains built these walls
These halls are our city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
This is the people's house
The house of you and me
Time for the turning of the page
It's time to say goodbye
Old ways have changed
No crime to look out for each other
Father, Mother, Sister, Brother
Can't keep fighting one another
We are building this house of love
Building this house, building this house
This is the people's house
From sea to shining sea
The Rocky Mountains built these walls
These halls are our city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
This is the people's house
The house of you and me, yeah
I wasn't born a man of privilege
But I'm privileged just the same
No rain will wash away the stain
No truth can hide us from the shame
Until we all believe in change
We are building this house of love
Building this house, building this house
This is the people's house
From sea to shining sea
The Rocky Mountains built these walls
These halls are our city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
This is the people's house
The house of you and me
This is the people's house
