Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
Once I was waitin' for fortune and fame
Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
When my life is ended, my time has run out
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
One rich man in a hundred with a satisfied mind
Little they know that it's so hard to find
My trials and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold
