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

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
