Jeff Buckley » A Satisfied Mind Lyrics

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.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonesome 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 is over and my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones I will 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.
