How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I could do things my way

But little they know

That its so hard to find

One rich man in ten

With a satisfied mind

Once I was wading

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 is ending

My time has gone out

My friends and my loved ones

I believe there's no doubt

But there's one thing for certain

When it comes to my time

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind
