Lyrics for Satisfied Mind
How many times have you heard someone say "If I had his money, I will do things my way" But little they know that it's so hard to find One rich man in ten 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 my life is over, my time has run out My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt (leave them no doubt) But one thing's 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 Leave this old world, yes, I will, with a satisfied mind
