Today's the 8th anniversary of the day I was born

I've been alive exactly eight years today

My name is Joey and I can't see a more valid excuse

To have a wild, raging party than my birthday

So I invited all my friends to come and started making plans

For the greatest party 3rd grade's ever seen

All my closest friends and I would go to Skippy's Pizza-rama

They've got skeeball and these dancing chimpanzees

Every person in attendance would have candy all his own

And more pizza than an army could consume

I paid everyone's admission and I thought my heart would burst

With excitement as we walked into the room

But as I turned to see the joy on all the faces of my friends

I was shocked to see an empty space where they had all just been

I'm so alone

And it's my birthday

All by myself

What is the deal?

I'm the only person sitting at a table set for twelve

And I just can't help but think that this could be…how God must feel…how God must feel

My best friend Andy's sharing pizza that I bought with some dumb girl

And Steven Dobbs is playing air hockey with Jake

Kevin's paying Junior Highers with my tokens for his life

And I think Jeff is selling slices of my cake

Everywhere I look I see those who should be looking at me

It's my birthday after all but they don't care

I put so much into making this a party they would like

I guess I just thought they'd have gratitude to spare

But as I turned to see the joy on all the faces of my friends

I was shocked to see an empty space where they had all just been

I'm so alone

And it's my birthday

All by myself

What is the deal?

I'm the only person sitting at a table set for twelve

And I just can't help but think that this could be…

How God must feel…how God must feel

I'm so alone

And I'm their Savior

All by myself

What is the deal?

I'm the only one that saved them from the sins that held them down

And I just can't help but think that they don't care…how I might feel…
