yesterday's child (rewrite one)

last night I dreamed 
I was yesterday's child
in a field of green
on the outskirts of wild
I'd committed no sin
I wasn't on trial
and the rest of my life 
was ahead

all of my worries
flew into the sky
and exploded into
the fourth of July
with fireworks hovering
like dragonflies
and the rest of my life 
was ahead

          if I could start over
          I'd start over again
          with a head full of questions
          with time as my best friend

I've always wondered
what happens if
your dreams are outnumbered
by whoever you're with
I stood unencumbered
and chose not to resist
and the rest of my life
was ahead

one night I dreamed 
I was yesterday's child
in a field of green
on the outskirts of wild
I'd committed no sin
I wasn't on trial
and the rest of my life 
was ahead
the rest of my life
was ahead
