How many times have you heard someone say
|
If I had his money I would do things my way
|
But little they know that's so hard to find
|
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
|
|
Once I was willing 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 pauper at times
|
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
|
|
When life has ended my time has run out
|
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
|
But one thing for certain when it comes my time
|
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
|
