Lyrics
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
Oh, yeah
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
Yeah
I wasn't born a man of privilege
Oh, yeah
But I'm privileged just the same
Oh, 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
This is the people's house
From sea to shining sea
Oh, sea to shining sea
The Rocky Mountains built these walls
Built these walls, yeah, yeah
These halls are our city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Oh, no, no
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys
This is the people's house (The people's house)
The house of you and me (You and me, yeah)
Ain't no stoppin' us now
And we won't turn around, yeah
This is the people's house
It's the people's house
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yes, it is
This is the people's house
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
Oh, yeah
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
Yeah
I wasn't born a man of privilege
Oh, yeah
But I'm privileged just the same
Oh, the same
No rain will wash away the stain
No truth can hide us from the shame

Building this house, building this house

This is the people's house
