The People's House

Come in and leave your mind open
It's time we let love in
Mother Father I am broken
Barely breathin' but I'm hopin'
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 buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house buildin' this house
This is the people's house
From sea to shinin' sea
The Rocky Mountain built these walls
These halls are our city streets
No wreckin' 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 turnin' 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 fightin' one another
We are buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house buildin' this house
This is the people's house
From sea to shinin' sea
The Rocky Mountain built these walls
These halls are our city streets
Oh yeah
No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
Ooh-ooh-ooh
This is the people's house
The house of you and me yeah
Yeah
I wasn't born a man of privilege
But I'm privileged just the same
No rain'll wash away the stain
No truth can hide us from the shame
Until we all believe in change
We are buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house buildin' this house
Oh ah
This is the people's house
This is the people's house
From sea to shinin' sea
Oh sea to shinin' sea
The Rocky Mountain built these walls
Built these walls
These halls are our
City streets
Let freedom ring yeah
No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down
Oh no no
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
No no-no-no no
This is the people's house
The people's house
The house of you and me
You and me and you yeah-yeah
Ain't no stoppin' us now
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh
And we won't turn around yeah
This is the people's house
