Keep in mind, this song is "From Genesis to Revelation" and has nothign to do with a birthday party. The debut Genesis album was a concept album dealing with the accoutn of the Holy Bible. I see "it's your birthday freind" as being the birth of Jesus. Also the first two stanzas of the song mean that, "I", being Jesus, is he wrong for being amongst sinners to minister to them. As far as the other lyrics in the song, Iam sure they have some kind of meaning realating to the ministry of Jesus, but I havn't taken much time to decipher those meanings.
