Richard Marx - Silent Scream

Paid Vacation (album)
"Silent Scream"

Twenty four and he believes for
Sure he's got it made
Fame is here for good and
Looks will never fade
He doesn't know
The game is never over 'till
The cards have all been played

Eighty three and still he feels
His best is yet to come
He believes that youth is
Wasted on the young
He's alone
The only dream he ever has
Is being with someone

[Chorus:]
Love you when your standing tall
But nobody knows you when your falling
All you have to do is call
But nobody ever hears the silent scream

Christmas came and went again
But still nobody came
Staring at her wedding photo in a frame
She's alone
We should hope the loss of memory
Helps to ease the pain

[Chorus]
Love you when your standing tall
But nobody knows you when your falling
All you have to do is call
But nobody ever hears the silent scream

Memories, moments you recall
We should be remembered for the
Greatest of them all
You can't begin to live someone
Else's life
Or you're own will pass you by

Oh, who's to know
Maybe we can learn a thing or
Two from everyone

[Chorus]
Love you when your standing tall
But nobody knows you when your falling
All you have to do is call
But nobody ever hears the silent scream

Great tune. It should have been added to his 1997 greatest hits CD. I am sure some fans out there agree with me, right?

Back in the 80s and 90s everyone was all over Richard Marx. People loved him when he was standing tall, and now, nobody knows him when he's falling. But some of us still remain his fans to this day, and we're the only ones who can hear his silent scream...

The video reminds us to be more care to our parents... Sometimes we just got too busy with our life that we forgot to take care of our parents like they once did to us when we're little... Remember guys...we became to be what we are now because of them... Maybe they're not the best parents we got...but be sure that they've try their best for us...

Take care of your parents while they still alive before you're sorry...

@asdfkie Maybe some but his european tour has been a great success nevertheless :) I, for example, traveled from Poland to UK to see him so go figure :)

[asdfkie]

@foreverrafter yea but in music your career depends on your fans. these days there is no doubt some fans have deserted him

[foreverrafter]

@asdfkie He's not falling, he's standing tall, shining brighter than ever before. Have you seen any of his live show lately? He's GENIAL!

Richard Marx is the undisputed king of sentimental ballads

[downmattp]

Morbid, morose, self-pitying...........but a great song. He is on tour in UK soon.

@ZachClooney He still lives near Chicago with his wife and three kids. One of them is into music as well, and lately, RM has been teaming up with the guy from Vertical Horizon for acoustic records.
