| How many times have you heard someone say
|
| If I had his money, oh I would do things my way
|
| But little they know that, it’s so hard to find
|
| One rich man or woman with a satisfied mind
|
| Oh once I was lucky in fortune and fame
|
| I had all that I needed to make a start in life’s game
|
| Then suddenly it happened
|
| I lost every dime
|
| But I’m richer by far, with a satisfied mind
|
| Oh money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old
|
| Or a friend when you’re lonely, or a heart that’s gone cold
|
| The healthiest person is a poor person at times
|
| Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
|
| When my life is over and my time has run out
|
| My friends and relations, well I leave them no doubt
|
| But one thing’s for certain
|
| When it comes to my time
|
| I will leave this world with a satisfied mind
|
| Oh I’ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind |
