Hello there - Thank-you Jim, so much for the lyrics for this song. I had all the words except that one..."home" or "own", in the line,"revolution you are not my own". I just got back from holidays and received this message. Thanx again so much for the time you took. My daughters will greatly appreciate it - they may be singing this song at a county fair, and wanted to make sure they had the right words. I have purchased some of the duhks' music, but, just don't have the words for this song in particular. Take care!!!
Amanda

WHO WILL TAKE MY PLACE
Dan Frechette

If they shoot me down to shut me down,
Who will take my place?
If they bring an army into this town,
Who will take my place?
If they rule this land and silence me,
When I'm laid out with injury,
When my words won't matter anymore,
Who will take my place?

Revolution, you are not my own.
Who will take my place?
There are flowers painted on these stones.
Who will take my place?
When the silence of oppression dies,
Overheard beyond the battle cries,
Are the words the final compromise?
Who will take my place?

When the dogs of war are on the land,
Who will take my place?
When you forfeit life to take a stand,
Who will take my place?
When the dreamers fear the simplest thought,
When the bloodshed's taken all you've got,
When this world's an empty, creaking floor,
Who will take my place?

If they rule this land and silence me,
While I'm laid out with injury;
When my words won't matter anymore,
Who will take my place?
Who will take my place?

you asked about another song by this group.
i recommend you purchase their c.d.
then you can support the band and
listen any time you want as well as seeing the
lyrics on the liner notes. I copied the lyrics
to one song, but would advise you to
send a little energy towards the band
by buying thier product!

by the way, welcome and i am glad to
see you joined the mudcat...
have a good holiday

Hi - I'm actually just looking for one word in the Duhks song "Who will take my place?" Does the line go "Revolution you are not my home?" or "Revolution you are not my own"? Also, any history on this song would be really great! Thanx so much - we're goin' away on holidays, so we'll be back in a week to get any responses from y'all!
Thanx again!
