Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't go astray
won't be afraid
Won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
And I breathe your air
And I breathe your air
You only can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
You're ruling the way that I move
Only you can rescue me
This is my prayer
If you were mine
If you were mine
I wouldn't want to go to heaven
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day, oh
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
I cherish the day
I won't go astray
I won't be afraid
You won't catch me running
The lyrics to Robert Glasper's "Cherish the Day" evoke a feeling of deep devotion and love. The song's title itself suggests an attitude of appreciation and gratefulness for the present moment. The repetition of the phrase "I won't go astray, I won't be afraid, you won't catch me running" creates a sense of security and trust between the singer and their lover. There is a sense of surrender in the lyric "You're ruling the way that I move and I breathe your air," suggesting that the singer has given themselves over completely to their partner. The line "Only you can rescue me, this is my prayer" shows a vulnerability and reliance on the other person, implying that they are a source of strength and comfort.
The lyrics also contain a sense of longing, particularly in the line "If you were mine, I wouldn't want to go to heaven." This suggests that the love shared between the two is so powerful and fulfilling that the singer would rather stay on Earth with their lover than ascend to a place traditionally associated with ultimate bliss. Through these lyrics, Glasper conveys a deep commitment to a loving relationship, emphasizing the value of being present in the moment and cherishing the person you love.

I am like 11 years late, BUT this type of music will never get old. I LOVE A "LIVE" BAND and a "SENSATIONAL" vocalist.

Absolutely, Since Covid only done two gigs, Steven Wilson and Crash Test Dummies both brilliant in their own way!
