I've seen a saint fall from grace But I'm not sure that'd I'd use that phrase 'Cause if grace is something you can misplace Then what's the point of it anyway? 'Cause I said it would never be me To waver in this faith I decree But the apple don't fall far from the tree And the human condition's hereditary Ya the human condition's hereditary 'Cause it's in the blood Coursing through my veins Same old story same family name Prone to wander This heart in me 'Cause the human conditions hereditary So would you come take an axe to my family tree O Heavenly Father would you adopt me Well I've stood by in disbelief Watching a pastor pull up in a sports car to preach About how blessed are the poor, blessed are the meek I can't help but see the irony But that same impulse lives in me too Put me in the garden, id of taken the fruit Cause the human condition's not just for the few Oh it's here in me just like it's here in you 'Cause it's in the blood Coursing through my veins Same old story, same family name Prone to wander This heart in me 'Cause the human conditions hereditary So would you come take an axe to my family tree O Heavenly Father, would you adopt me 'Cause it's in the blood Coursing through my veins Same old story, same family name Prone to wander This heart in me 'Cause the human conditions hereditary So would you come take an axe to my family tree Would You pull up the roots of my family tree O Heavenly Father, would you adopt me
