This is the song I dreamed I was helping John Lennon record.

Can we go back to where we were tomorrow yesterday?
I wasn't finished wandering, there wasn't time to play
You say there's lots of work to do
And lots of bills to pay

Okay
We'll be back again someday

Can I have my feelings back tomorrow yesterday?
I really wasn't happy when you took them all away
I don't know where you've taken them
I really couldn't say

Okay
They'll be back again someday

Can I have my memories back tomorrow yesterday?
I need to understand the depth of my naiveté
And after all the things I'm looking through,
You want them right away

Okay
I'll have to make it up someday

Can we have the future back tomorrow yesterday?
I wasn't finished dreaming of a place where I could stay
You say that dreams are pointless,
So I've nothing more to say

Okay
I'll be back again someday

Snippets

I've been having difficulty with the bridge. I think first one (new) seems a bit closer to satisfactory:

See the church, and see the steeple
See all the rituals in play
But can you just imagine all the people
Living for today?
So here's the church, and here's the steeple
Everyone goes in to pray
But can you just imagine all the people
Living for today?
Everyone gathers beneath the steeple
Working on their spirit's résumé
But can you just imagine all the people
Living for today?
You might gather in beneath the steeple
To build your soul's curriculum vitae
But can you just imagine all the people
Living for today?
