How many times have you heard someone say, If I had his money I would 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 waiting 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, and my time has run out My friends and my loved ones, I 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.
