Hay verdades universales. Y da igual si las propone San Ignacio en sus Ejercicios Espirituales o un grupo de hard rock en un disco titulado Pornograffitti, como es el caso. Y es que cuando Extreme decidió hacer una balada, eligió un tema con el que es difícil estar en desacuerdo: «El amor ha de ponerse antes en las obras que en las palabras». O dicho de otro modo, de nada sirve decir te quiero si los actos lo desmienten. De nada sirven las promesas sin compromiso real. De nada los versos sin vida. De nada sirve citar el evangelio si es para promover el odio.
Y esto vale para la pareja, para los amigos, y para Dios, pues la fe es también una búsqueda de algo más que palabras.
Extreme (Extreme II: Pornograffitti)
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It’s not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
Now I’ve tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don’t ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying I love you
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
