Satisfied Mind Songtext
von Mavis Staples

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I will 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 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 is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I′ll leave them no doubt (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

Leave this old world, yes, I will, with a satisfied mind
