Lyrics

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I'd do things my way
But little they know
It's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old
Or a friend when you’re lonely or a heart that’s grown cold
And the world’s richest man is a pauper at times
Compared to a man with a satisfied mind

When my life is over
My time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave them no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
