Remember Tomorrow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Unchain the colours, before my eyes
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return, from out of the fire

[Verse 2]
Tears for remembrance, and tears for joy
Tears for somebody, not this lonely boy
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye
Flickers above us, to light up the sky
Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Unchain the colors, before my eyes
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds lift me higher
But I shall return from out of the fire, yeah
Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire

What did Metallica say about "Remember Tomorrow"?
Genius Answer

That was about my grandfather. I lost him in 1980, when I was on tour. He was a diabetic. They cut off his toe and his heel, then he lost his leg from the knee down, and he just sort of gave up.

But the lyrics don’t relate to it, to be honest with you – just the words “remember tomorrow.” Because that is what he always used to say – that was his little catch phrase. “You never know what is going to happen, remember tomorrow, it might be a better day.” So I just kept it in, and that was it.

Paul Di'Anno, original composer of the song.
