Like so many songwriters of my generation I can't help but be inspired by the genre. And even though Jamaica and the Caribbean are worlds apart from my Indianapolis upbringing, I'll always be so grateful to have known the music of Marley and Tosh, Toots and others.

lyrics
However hard you try to keep liberty
from becoming a reality
With faith we will knock down your walls
With faith we will knock down you walls
Woe to the plowman in the fields
the dust that settles on his skin
the sweat that falls down from his brow
the dim light of hope that shines within
Woe to our sister in her tatters
six generations underneath
destiny could have been easier
on one as innocent and sweet
Who's got his hands in the well
Who's got his hands in the well
From neighborhood to neighborhood
the same thing going down
Why should you care when your feeling good
About your brother's side of town
His cup is empty but his hands are in the well
His cup is empty, hi hands are in the well
Who's got his hands in the well
Who's got his hands in the well
