Satisfied Mind

Satisfied Mind - Joan Baez (瓊·貝茲)

How many times have you heard someone say

"If I had his money I could do things my way "

How little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man in a hundred with a satisfied mind

Once I was waiting for fortune and fame

Everything I could dreamed to get a start in life's game

And then suddenly it happened I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

No 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

And the wealthiest man 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

But there's one thing's for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
