Lyrics
Words have come from men and mouths
But I can't help thinking that I've heard the wrong crowd
When all the water is gone my job will be too
And I'm trying to leave something behind
Money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
Oh the future ahead is broken and red
But I'm trying to leave something behind
This whole world is a foreign land
We swallow the moon but we don't know our own hand
We're running with the case but we ain't got the gold
Yet we're trying to leave something behind
My friends I believe we are at the wrong fight
And I cannot read what I did not write
I've been to his house, but the master is gone
But I'd like to leave something behind
There is a beast who has taken my brain
You can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain
When the machine has taken the soul from the man
It's time to leave something behind
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
Oh the future ahead is already dead
So I'm trying to leave something behind
I got this feeling that I'm still at the shore
And pockets don't know what it means to be poor
I can get through the wall if you give me a door
So I can leave something behind
Oh wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere
You're not going to find it in some mental gray hair
It's locked up from those who hurry ahead
And it's time to leave something behind
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
And the ceiling is hard to reach
When my son is a man he will know what I meant
I was just trying to leave something behind
I was just trying to leave something behind

[@alfriz273]

but the lyric made me stay

[@michaelangelo2339]

Having been born with Asperger's Syndrome, The Accountant was the first movie I have seen that has put what we experience every day on public display, albeit with the usual Hollywood razzle dazzle. Still, I thank Ben Affleck for the way he portrayed the character. When I was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2006, I felt as though I'd leave life without ever seeing an honest account of who we are and what we live. I was one of six locals (a beautiful young elementary school teacher, a volunteer firefighter, a city police officer, a state wildlife officer, a co-worker in my office at the airbase and myself) who were all diagnosed with the same disease, at the same time. We all went through chemo and radiation at the same time. Of the six of us, I was the oldest. Of the six of us, I am the only one left. This is the second time I have had to deal with survivor's guilt. Why me? Why was I left? This song says it, the feeling I was left with, that I had to leave something good behind. I needed to do something to justify being the sole survivor. So I volunteer, I give, I try to understand things I never listened to before. And I would like to leave something behind. Something good.

[@jimmacgregor4459]

[@jenacy]

Great , appropriate tune

[@adamlakes3638]

In Dec 2017, I went to South Africa to care for my terminally ill father who had liver cancer. Over 12 days I cared for him. I walked him, showered him, fed him and hugged him tightly. On the night of his death, I helped the Congolese night nurse on her first night. Struggling to breathe it took 20 minutes for my dad to pass. Thankfully I managed to call the doctor who administered a tranquiliser to end his struggle. I saw my dad's head violently shake twice whilst my hand was on his forehead as he took his last breath. When I listen to this song it takes me back to that moment. The moment death was taking my father but how much love was in the room. I remember shouting to him "I love you dad" and him giving a small grin. After his death, I dicovered that he had kept every e-mail correspondence between his children ever written which he had carefully labelled with our names and put them in chronological order starting at the year 2000. It was his gift to us, to leave something behind that we would cherish. In all, I have 4 full folders of our messages to one another. In life, all that matters is that you live fiercely. Never be tempted to hold in high esteem that which is replicated. Time and love are all that matter. You can always make money, you can never make time. You have to be wise in how you spend your time. Life is long enough if you know how to use it. Short for those who don't. So I implore you to embrace death so that you can truly live.

[@Meditech509]

Amazing story. Thanks for sharing.

[@edwarddavis9010]

I am sorry for your loss. The hole in your heart will never go away. And the hurt won't stop, you'll just get used to living differently. But I am so glad to hear that your father left something behind for you. And more than the emails, I'm sure he has left you with a lifetime of wonderful experiences and cherished memories. He has also left you. Through you and your children and your siblings and your bloodline, he will have left generations to continue the good work he did in his life. Y'all will build a thriving family, a collection of stories that will be told out over the decades and centuries. Through you, your father will be infinite and live on forever. Good luck, and God bless.

[@georgehodak1501]

Yes...to be whole is to be one with life and one with death because they are but two sides of the same coin of consciousness. You have found much wisdom and have shared its gold, and in the end, that is all we can hope to do in our time upon this wonderful planet earth.And so, thank you for your heart's gift to this human being and humanity, and also, to the world.

I watched the accountant for a second time yesterday. I was surprised that this song came so strong to me like I was hearing it for the first time. I send me straight to my fathers final moments. Dying with cancer was hard and my father still struggled to honor his own father. He said to me "I want you to honor your legacy. I leave this family to you to provide leadership and direction" My father did not die as a man of means, but he kept his library and home office to his dying day. On his office table were 3 neck ties. I dressed him in one, gave my only brother the other one and wore the last one during his funeral. I miss my father!

I cannot begin to tell you how much this song means to me. I have played this a minimum of once a month for years, and will continue to do so. For various reasons, I was never married and don't have children. So for years I have asked, so what was all my hard work for? My legacy will be to leave 5 charities some funding, and some very close friends that I got to enjoy life with - that is what I will leave behind. When I pass there will be no funeral, only a party for my long-time friends. I have selected songs to be played for each stage of my life, and "To Leave Something Behind" will be the final song because it defines who I have become over my life. Thank you for this amazing gift.

[@davidtidwell6122]

As a pastor I've conducted many memorial services over the years. I've always been taken back by those who stood to speak about what the deceased meant to them. Knowing the person's life and the humility they walked in, I had no doubt they would have been taken back by what others said their life had meant to them. Hero's are most often the first person to feel like they are anything but. But for others their lives had deep meaning and lasting significance. @@carlknox6802

[@tivedenedo3936]

I am unrepentantly gospel but when I heard this song at the end of the movie, I could not resist looking for it and playing it. In all the vanities of life, the mad acquisitions, the horrendous wars raging on earth, what else should men and women of good conscience do than try leave something behind to make the world a better place than we met it. Undoubtedly, Sean Rowe, should definitely stand and be counted among the greats.

Bill Yonce: In third grade, about 60 years ago, one of my classmates said that when you spell "dessert" , the two esses (ss) look like the two pieces of pie (using cursive handwriting, which used to be taught in schools) that you get for dessert after dinner. I told her that I never get two pieces of pie for dessert, but only one, so that memory aid didn't make sense to me. Yet after all these years, that's how I always remember the difference between "desert" and "dessert".

Two years ago, to the day, my father was diagnosed with a rare brain disease. He was forced to go on disability but I thought he always hoped he’d go back to work eventually. Meanwhile I took care of him. Fast forward a few weeks, my father asks what we did for my birthday since he could not remember. It was hard but I told him the truth, we didn’t celebrate it. It was scary seeing how much he had cried that day. And last year he broke his arm, I was prepared to go another year without celebrating. But alas we actually did, even though I still think we shouldn’t have. He was getting worse but I think it made him happy that we had done something, something really special for me. This year… my father got diagnosed with cancer. Although I told him all I wanted was a small cake, in truth, all I want is for him to get better. From time to time he‘ll tell me or ask me what more can he bring into the world. My dad used to work as a machinist, making parts for airplanes, space shuttle, and his favorite was firearms. He may not think it, but I think he’s leaving a lot behind, great job dad! You are loved, remember that. Every time I hear this song, I’m thinking of you.

His best movie by far. NEEDS A PART 2!!! TOO GREAT OF A CHARACTER TO LEAVE IT.

[@1973cableguy]

Ben said they have signed on to make a pt. 2

[@jacobwilkinson6112]

Sometimes movies don’t need a part II though. It was a beautiful movie on it’s own

[@wongbrackman4290]

Caulk?

[@brianjewett123]

I had listened to Sean play in Saratoga NY many years ago in a band mud funk. Hearing his voice at the end of the accountant took me back and made me smile .

[@seanrowemusic]

ah....MUDFUNK. gone are the days but fun memories. Thanks Brian!

[@dnglbry1]

REAL MUSIC SPEAKS TO SOULS WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR IT! NO FRILLS, NO PRETTY PACKAGE, JUST RAW SIMPLE PASSION! YOUR HAUNTING MYSTIQUE IS IN WHO YOU ARE MY FRIEND DON'T EVER CHANGE THAT! BEAUTY IS FLEETING A PURE SOUL WILL LIVE FOREVER!!

[@Wikdone]

Had never heard of Sean Rowe until I watched the movie. Wow what I've been missing. What a great voice, great talent.

[@galecadywilliams4078]

Sean performed in my hometown in October, and I was blown away by his talent. Music tinged with traces of Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, and Irish singer-storytellers. It's time for him to have the fame he deserves.

[@smartalek180]

The movie will help.

[@shaynaishiki6905]

Gale Cady Williams exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking Cash, but that hit right on the buzzer. Still I am glad he is getting recognized for his amazing talent.

[@PumpernickelBread25]

Checked his schedule and unfortunately, he isn't coming to my town anytime soon (even though its famous for its music scene).

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

why so negative

[@santavigrahadasa4866]

Exactly what i thought........cohen

[@tesswoodard8949]

When I heard this song I thought it was something from my childhood that I had forgotten, it was that good because they don't make them like this anymore! Good on ya for this masterpiece.

[@debbiebyrd4301]

I can't get enough of his voice

[@jwport580]

Kudos to Mr. Rowe. He has penned and performed the rare case of a song that transcends many people's experience of searching for meaning, of suffering loss and the desperate need we all have - no matter our colour or faith or creed - to feel we lived a life with significance. He nails it and I am better for having heard it. Thank you sir.

[@larrysampson5271]

"The Accountant" is an excellent movie....good song. I will rewatch it many times. It holds up.

[@bobbyscott3653]

Damn! That has to be one of the most beautifully written and sung songs I’ve heard

[@donuttime2507]

It's up there! 😍

[@user-lg2hd9mc8z]

„I cannot read what I did not write…”, what a masterful set of lyrics! And an outstanding voice always remembered when heard! What a great performance, Sean! 👍🙏🏼

[@kashyapawick]

WOW...incredible. I'm blown away with the lyrics and the voice. For all those beautiful souls who have commented...you just restore the faith in humanity.

[@wickedrubiconcod3464]

A song so powerful it speaks to your soul, the tears streaming down your face are your souls way of answering back.

same really nice movie

[@dbiswas]

me too... :)

[@margaret_Bobby_Tembo]

His voice is just pure gold 💯

[@judithgalbraith3442]

Yes, I too discovered this song after watching The Accountant. Bet I’ve replayed this video a zillion times, and totally obsessed with the song and the message! One of my top favorite songs of all times!!!!!! ❤️

[@KA-ho3fy]

Life is beautiful... It's glorious, it's painful, it's soft, it's harsh. It's hate, anger, ignorance, intolerance!!! But in the end, it's the Love we leave behind... God bless you all.

[@professorcomics2736]

This song does two things for me: It touches my soule in a really profound way and it differentiates the Accountant from most other action films.

[@jameselkin4687]

There is something ethereal about being present in the death of someone. I was holding my mothers hand when she passed. After 84 years and she and I were alone, it is hard to describe the pain and astonishment that she passed. She was not perfect but she was my mother.

[@theogangryscotsman7607]

A hard day I am sure been there

[@Paul_cat_videos]

The accountant for me as well today, watching the fourth time. Will watch again in the future.

[@christinebaggett5221]

Heard this song from the accountant brought me to tears that's ALL any of us want is to leave something behind, and they know we did our very best

[@jamesshell1383]

One of the best songs ever written!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tommyross5959]

Wow, then wow again with a wow!

[@seanstrong9242]

When you find a song that makes sense of what you feel after great loss and explains things better than I ever could for those that remain. Watching him sing it and then watching with the lyrics displayed made me shudder when the line about his son finally understanding what it was he’s been doing. He finally knows what I meant is heart wrenching to me. Then it brings me to father and son by Cat Stevens when he says you’re young and that’s your fault. I may or may not wait for that day. My father may or may not believe that I understand now but I love him for always being there for me and protecting me even when I was unaware and didn’t know what he meant. I’m just trying to leave something behind. 🙏💕🤟😢

[@diggerdriver1976]

for the lucky ones finding this!! if you truly listen and let the lyrics sink in, regardless of the artists explanation/reasons/meaning it basically describes most of humanity's confusion and frustration with today's world, especially the leadership. we all feel like we want to leave our mark but we are confused to the point of silence!! life is a fickle fucker!!

[@doctordilanka]

dave smith What do you mean 'regardless of the artists explanation/reasons'? Isn't that what exactly matters? Not YOUR subjective interpretation of it?

[@papercut7141]

@@doctordilanka the artist doesn't have a monopoly on understanding their own art.

[@chiejie1076]

I just heard this song tonight by watching THE ACCOUNTANT and it broke me into tears... And now i saved it in my playlist It's really good.

[@haissamhalbouni6595]

I’m here after the accountant. Great song that fits the movie ending. The words are touching the soul

[@ragincajun19d]

When Sean Rowe sings, he tells a story. You best keep silent and listen. His music will move you in ways that make you think, think about everything in your life.

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

Wow...it wasnt till i saw the accountant last night that i heard this song for the 1st time....instant heartfelt and amazing voice...THIS HAS BEEN MY MANTRA IN LIFE...for my 3 adult sons...we have struggled...im 50 on disability and trying to build a home for them....i feel this great need to leave something behind......my partner is a singer songwriter, musician and ive listened to a lot of music over the decades and wow...this is up there with the best ever....thank you for this song

[@reinhard1970oberzeir]

😢 I can't imagine what you must have been through. You must be very strong!! I'm losing my mom right now and I hate myself for all the things I didn't tell her and the time I didn't spend with her.....Now it's too late

[@canaridissident7309]

You have done your best, I am sure.

[@WildChuco]

I’m unsure of how to take this song. My dad passed away when I was 13 unexpectedly by himself and I only got to see him twice a week. Worked his ass off and never once made life easy for himself with bad influences from a young age. He cleaned himself up and turned a corner, stopped the drugs and stopped drinking as much and quit gambling. I watched some horrible things growing up with him and the family. Love him to pieces and always will. I’m still trying to figure out what the lesson was and what he left behind. Whatever the lesson, I will do everything he didn’t do and finish what he started.

[@cgriff963]

shin young man shine

[@JRotten]

His lesson was his example. Don't do the evil he's done. And work hard for your children don't have too. So, maybe that's what he left behind.

[@stevengregory6932]

"When my son is a man he will know what I meant" That's one of those lines that tattoos itself on your soul. Incredible stuff.

[@andrewt7735]

steven Gregory great words

[@lesjones1858]

Give me a door and I can get through the wall. I love it!

[@johnvangorder8257]

SOOOO Powerful!!! I too discovered this song at the end of The Accountant. How is this guy not at the top of several charts?? I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer last year. In her last days she was so delirious So the line " There is a beast who has taken my brain, you can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain" just hits me right in the feelers evry time I hear it. It made me cry the first time I heard the full song...still makes me cry today. We played this at her funeral....it seemed fitting. Thank you Sean for adding something beautiful to this otherwise miserable world.

[@myriannegable9896]

My condolences for your loss of your mom. That line reminds me of my grandmothers in their last years.

[@zagnut48219]

"When my son is a man he will know what I meant" God dammit that hits me so hard in the feels

Just pray you are here to see, brother.

Get me to. I always change it in my head to "when my sons are all men" and just like yourself lol the tears follow

[@stevecrazy9491]

Makes you feel good so you curse God??? Really !

[@stevengaskill6515]

Im not crying, you're crying.... Damn it! Who's cutting onions again!? This song hit me in the gutts. Wow...

[@evertbeckner6522]

My grandfather died next to me on December 10 2012. He went to sleep as I was taking him to the doctor and he passed away next to me. This reminds me of him so much cause he taught me everything I know. He left the best things behind for me to teach my kids.

[@ltsgarage7780]

evert beckner it’s not that he left the good things behind. It’s that you pick & choose the good to pass along to your children. Then, hopefully they pick and choose the good to pick up and pass along to their children. It’s a cycle. When your grandchildren pass it along. Only then will we know if your grandfather passed along the good. As you share with us. I’m sure he did!!!

[@scottburns5574]

my grandfather passed 40 years ago and is still with me every day. Guiding me and putting a hand on my shoulder. I am a better person because of him.

[@ltsgarage7780]

Scott Burns my father died December 4 1978. I don’t remember when my grandfather passed away. I was but a very young man when he stuck a 357 Ruger in his mouth. Pulled the trigger. That didn’t kill him. He went to the closet and pulled out his 308 rifle stuck it in his mouth & pulled the trigger. Once again it did not Kill him. If nothing else he was determined. He grabbed his 12 gauge walked out to the tree. Put the butt of the gun the tree an the Barrel in his mouth. That was some day. I had spent the week at their house during the summer. Oh by the way. The third shot did kill him!!!

[@jameselkin4687]

I was holding my mother's hand when she passed. It still salves my soul that I was there when she left this world!

[@altapape4594]

I knew I would not be here for the long haul, so reaching out to my love ones and friends was to not confuse you but to enlighten you on the path that is to come for you! This song tells it all.

[@JSC882]

A song that sends shivers down your spine....this life is just a journey, when you think about it, you are born, you live, then you die....you always leave everything behind, not only something

[@processnew9050]

Wow, this hits hard. I am not a young guy here, and ... yes, leaving something behind is wayyyy more difficult than one would think. Thx, y'all

[@ryanparkin4454]

One of very very FEW voices that Angels will be hearing and saying "i wish i could sing like that"

[@LANCASTERESL]

I caught this song at the end of the movie, The Accountant, as so many others have. I looked further into the lyrics and the "New Lore" that was recorded in Memphis. Living just outside of Memphis, I hear about the talent that roles into the city and how they pour out their souls in the studios. Thanks for doing what you do, forager, songwriter, and singer.
