Bon Jovi The People's House Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
We are buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house, buildin' this house

[Chorus]
This is the people's house
From sea to shinin' sеa
The Rocky Mountain built these walls
Thеse 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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
We are buildin' this house of love Buildin' this house, buildin' this house
[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
We are buildin' this house of love
Buildin' this house, buildin' this house

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
This is the people's house
