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

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh) This is the people´s house
(Ooh-ooh)
