Satisfied Mind

How many times

Have you heard someone say?

"If I had his money

I'd do things my way"

But little they know

That it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten

With a satisfied mind



For money can't buy back

Your youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're lonely

Or a heart that's grown cold

The wealthiest person

Is a pauper at times

Compared to the man

With a satisfied mind



Once I was livin'

In fortune and fame

I had all that I dreamed of

To get a start in life's game

Then suddenly it happened

And I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mind
