Mavis Staples Satisfied Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I would do things my way"?
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
When 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
