The People's House (with The War And Treaty)

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 (oh, dear)

No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down

Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys (ooh)

This is the people's house

The house of you and me, yeah (yeah)

I wasn't born a man of privilege (oh, dear)

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 (this is the people's house)

From sea to shinin' sea (oh, sea to shinin' sea)

The Rocky Mountain built these walls (built these walls, oh)

These halls are our city streets (are our city streets)

No wreckin' ball is gonna knock it down (no, no, no, no)

Nobody's gonna come to steal the keys (no, no, no, no)

This is the people's house (this is the people's house)

The house of you and me (you and me)

Ain't no stoppin' us now

And we won't turn around

This is the people's house (this is the people's house, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Oh, yes it is)

This is the people's house
