how many times
have you heard someone say
if I had his money
I`d do things my way
but little they know
that it`s so hard to find
one rich man in ten
with a satisfied mind
once I was living
in fortune and fame
and all that I dreamed of
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
`cause money won`t buy back
the youth when you`re old
or a friend when you`re lonely
or a hearts that`s grown cold
the wealthiest person
is a pauper at times
compared to the man
with a satisfied mind
