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 longed for to get a start in life's 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 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 them no doubt   But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time   I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
