The People's House

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 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, 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 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 This is the people's house
