How many times have you heard someone say?
if I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game,
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime.
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.
Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
