v.1
How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I could do things my way"
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

v.2
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed 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

v.2
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or friends if you're lonely, or love that's gone cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to a man with a satisfied mind

v.3
When life has ended, and my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones believe there's no doubt
But it's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

Rpt. v.1
