"A Satisfied Mind" lyrics

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

But 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 proper at time
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When life has ended
And time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll 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
