[edit] About the song
The track was originally debuted on American radio station STAR 98.7 in 2002 while the band were hunting around for a record deal. During the outro, bassist John Taylor announced that it would be a single later on in the year.
The version of "What Happens Tomorrow" played on the radio was an early demo featuring an extended bridge, which would be removed by the time the track was released on Astronaut; parts of the track were re-worked to become the b-side "Silent Icy River".
[edit] Lyrics
Child, don't you worry It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry Brings you down, the news they sell ya To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure But nobody knows What's gonna happen tomorrow We'll try not to show How frightened we are If you'll let me, I'll protect you However I can You've got to believe It'll be alright in the end You’ve got to believe It’ll be alright again Fighting because we're so close There are times we punish those who we need the most No we can't wait for a savior Only got ourselves to blame for this behavior And nobody knows (nobody knows) What's gonna happen tomorrow We try not to show (try not to show) How frightened we are It would seem lonely If you were the only star in the night You've got to believe It'll be alright in the end You've got to believe It'll be alright again And nobody knows What's gonna happen tomorrow (nobody knows) So don't let go Now we've come this far Hold my hand please Understand me You're never alone We've got to believe It'll be alright in the end (Nobody knows) We've got to believe It'll be alright my friend So don't let go And yes we believe It'll be alright again Don’t let go
