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 wading in fortune and fame

Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in life's game

But suddenly it happened

And I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mnd

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, I'll leave them, no doubt

But there's one thing for certain

When it comes my time

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind
