The People's House

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 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 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

Always have changed no crime to look out for each other

Father mother sister brother

They 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 oh yeah

No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down

Nobody's gonna come and steal the keys

Oh

This is the people's house

The hearts of you and me

Yeah

Yeah

I wasn't born a man of privilege

But I'm privileged just the same

No rain will wash away the stain

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 rocking mount

Building walls

Building walls

These halls are city streets

No wrecking ball is gonna knock it down

Nobody's gonna come and steal the key

This is the people's house

The house of you and me you and me

Ain't no stopping us now

Oh and we won't turn around

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
