How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I'd do things my way"
How little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in a hundred with a satisfied mind

Once I was living in fortune and fame
And everything I could dream of to get a start in life's game
And suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

No money can buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a heart that's grown cold
And the world's richest man is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When my life is over and 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
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
