At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never reach those levels up so high Then I spent a few minutes thinking maybe it wouldn't take so long And I grew strong And I resolved to play along And so I'm no longer a Saint I just walked in to find that where so many were they now just ain't I would have taken that screen shot Recorded it for posterity If I had known for just one second it'd be gone so suddenly Go on now, go post your reply Just turn around now You, demerphq†, and tye Weren't you the ones who tried to take my votes away? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think you'd turn my world gray? Oh no not I, I was a Saint For as long as I know how to code, I know I'll be okay I've got all my life to live And I've got all this help to give I'm okay I was a Saint Hey Hey (I, I'll be okay) Hey hey (I, I'll be okay) Every day (I, I'll be okay) Oh yeah It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent so many minutes just feeling sorry for myself I wont ask why, but I will hold my head up high And you'll see me, I will be more Not just another maxed out monk with nothing to shoot for And so if you have a question you need to ask please feel free I'll be the first to answer if I can 'coz I'm whoring for XP! Go on now, go post your reply Just turn around now You, demerphq†, and tye Weren't you the ones who tried to take my votes away? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think you'd turn my world gray? Oh no not I, I was a Saint For as long as I know how to code, I know I'll be okay I've got all my life to live And I've got all this help to give I'm okay I was a Saint Hey Hey (I, I'll be okay) Hey hey (I, I'll be okay) Every day (I, I'll be okay) Yeah yeah (I, I'll be okay) Oh (I, I'll be okay) I was a Saint (I, I'll be okay) (I, I was a Saint) I've got all my help to give (I, I was a Saint) I've got all my life to live (I, I was a Saint) My coding is not in vain, oh no (I, I was a Saint) I'll be okay (I, I was a Saint) I'll be okay (I, I Was a Saint) Hey † For those who don't know, the "q" is silent. Edit: Changed title to "I Was a Saint" from "I'll Be Okay" plus minor edits. Added readmores. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";
