How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I could do things my way

But little they know that is 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's happened I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

[ steel ]

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 there's one thing for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
