A Satisfied Mind

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 waitin' in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed 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 can't buy back
Your youth when you're old
Or 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 has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave 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
