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, dear)
No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys (ooh)
This is the people's house
The house of you and me, yeah (yeah)
I wasn't born a man of privilege (oh, dear)
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 buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house, buildin' this house
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, oh)
These halls are our city streets (are our city streets)
No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down (no, no, no, no)
Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys (no, no, no, no)
This is the people's house (this is the people's house)
The house of you and me (you and me)
Ain't no stoppin' us now
And we won't turn around
This is the people's house (this is the people's house, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yes it is)
This is the people's house
