Subject: RE: last chance to be on child abuse cd
Here are words to dalit song
Tune is connemara by the lake. On you tube

Sorry for awful typing on blackberry


Please wont you share your water with me
For us its forbidden for you it is free
Maybe a dipper or maybe a cup
If you gave me a barrel id drink it all up

Chorus
Draw the water up from the well
We are so thirsty too thirsty to tell
We cant drink the dust we cant drinm the air
Draw up theW water and give us our share

When the monsoon comes down from the sky it will fall
Down upon one and down upon all
Thw rain does not ask ojr religkon or race
It falls on us all with such goodness and grace

My. Father is forty my mother is thirty
They have never drunk water that hasnt been dirjty
Theyve never had water to wash out the stains
From the work tbat tbey do so the stigma remains

We could fill up a well witb all of our tears
But when we are grown we will be engineers
With cool clean water well favor the earth
And deny it to noone because of tbeir birth

Last cborus add draw jp the water well give you your share
