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

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

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 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

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

This is the people's house
