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 winning 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 life has ended and my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones will leave, there's no doubt

But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with 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
