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 sin
I had a dream last night
And in that dream I lost my sight
Life left me dead on 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 mountain building walls
These halls are city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come and 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
Your ways have changed no crown
Or look out for each other
By the 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 mountain building walls
These halls are city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down
Nobody's gonna come and 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 this 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 mountain vivid walls
These halls are city streets
No wrecking ball is gonna knock him down
Nobody's gonna come and steal the keys
This is the people's house
The house of you and me
This is the people's house
