How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could 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 waitin´
In fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for
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

Money can´t buy back
Your youth when you´re old
Or a friend when you´re lonely
Or a love that´s grown cold

The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I´ll leave there´s no doubt

But one thing´s for certain
When it comes my time
I´ll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way

But little they know
That it´s so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
