How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money I would do things my way."

How little they know, well, it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Oh, once I was waiting for fortune and fame
Had everything that I needed 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

No money can buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold

And the world's richest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the one with a satisfied mind

When my life is over and my time has run out
All my friends and my loved ones I'm gonna leave them no doubt

But there's one thing for certain, when it comes my time
I'm gonna leave this old world with a satisfied mind
