yesterday's child (rewrite four)


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
          wind at my shoulder
          time as my best friend

I was a blank slate
where nothing was drawn
except for the colors
that welcomed the dawn
lying on my back
with my dog on the lawn
and the rest of my life
was ahead

          if I could start over
          I'd start over again
          wind at my shoulder
          time as my best friend

last night I dreamed 
I was yesterday's child
now I'm far beyond that
by many a mile
but last night in my dreams
I knew to run wild
and the rest of my life 
was ahead
the rest of my life
was ahead
