Satisfied Mind Lyrics

Many more miles were behind him than he had left to go
Closing in upon that last one we all must walk alone
It's the one across the end of the line

So we held on and we told stories of the good and bad in all
Of the power and the glory and the lonely days that crawled
And he said Heaven holds true love and a satisfied mind

He said I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse
When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind
Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever
I never wanted no more than was mine
And to lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind

He said don't look into the darkness if you want to see true black
Look into a morning's brightness when love ain't coming back And you will find right there a darkness that blinds

And don't think wealth is ever having all you want all to yourself
It is found when you are giving what you have to someone else
The only difference in the rich and the poor is a satisfied mind

And one light began to fade as one grew brighter
And he said I ain't afraid of dying 'cause I know there's something worse
When you have to see your reason for living go first and you get left behind
Some can't think of nothing better than to live this life forever
I never wanted no more than was mine
And to lay down someday and go home
Let me lay down someday and go home with a satisfied mind
