Go Back

Satisfied

Lyrics:

Well, you ask me if I'm happy, if I have peace within
If I'm worried about tomorrow when I'll reach my journey's end
Well, I'm satisfied, feel so happy, when He knocked, I let Him in
He'll go with me through the valley, for I know He is my friend

Satisfied (Satisfied), satisfied (Satisfied)
No trouble can ever get me down (Ohhh, get me down)
For when trouble comes my way (Ohhh)
I'll just smile at them and say (Ohhh)
Go away, I'm satisfied (Satisfied)

Now, if my friends, they all forsake me, and they turn me from their door
If they sow no seeds of kindness, make the thorns in my path grow
It won't matter over yonder when I've reached that other side
I'm gonna have a good time, feel so happy, satisfied, just satisfied

Satisfied (Satisfied), satisfied (Satisfied)
No trouble can ever get me down (Ohhh, get me down)
For when trouble comes my way (Ohhh)
I'll just smile at them and say (Ohhh)
Go away, I'm satisfied (Satisfied)

Satisfied (Satisfied), satisfied (Satisfied)
No trouble can ever get me down (Ohhh, get me down)
For when trouble comes my way (Ohhh)
I'll just smile at them and say (Ohhh)
Go away, I'm satisfied
Satisfied, satisfied (Satisfied)
