"Satisfied Mind" lyrics
"Satisfied Mind"
Well, how many times
Have you heard someone say
That if I had his money
Well, I'd do things my way
Little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
Money won't buy back
Your youth when you're old
Nor a friend when you're lonely
Or a love that's grown cold
And the wealthiest person
Is a pauper of a kind
Compared to the one
With a satisfied mind
Well, you may have money
Or things of that kind
But there's no satisfaction
But a satisfied mind
