Share the Well is the sixth major release from Caedmon's Call. It was released on October 12, 2004 through Essential Records.

Inspired by the band's trip to India, Brazil and Ecuador, Share the Well explores universal Christian themes in a variety of geographies, with songs that look through the eyes of both visitor and resident. Major themes include God's all-sufficient goodness, the need for people to share what they have with each other, and the inherent dignity of the oppressed; in particular the Dalit caste of India.
