Satisfied Mind Lyrics

How many times have you heard some one 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 lifes game,
then 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 your lonely, or a love thats 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 will leave theirs no doubt
but theeres one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

How many times have you heard some one 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.
