Map
Deliverance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Following the straight and narrow
Reading the signs and arrows
Driving away from the games we play
From horizons of gray
To the light of an endless day

I’ve got a road map to heaven
And each road is a cross
I’ve got a road map to heaven
For the blind and the lost

I’ve got a road map to heaven – heaven

And X marks the spot
And there’s a crosswalk
Where my life was bought

I’ve got a road map to heaven
And each road is a cross
“drive drive drive He said”
“I want to drive drive drive He said”




I’ve got a road map to heaven
For the blind and the lost

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Deliverance's song "Map" speaks of following the straight and narrow path towards a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. This is not an easy task as it involves reading signs and arrows indicating the way to go while driving away from the "games we play", which could refer to the distractions and obstacles that prevent us from achieving our goals. Deliverance then contrasts this picture of a bleak horizon with the light of an endless day, hinting at the rewards that await those who persevere in their journey towards a better life.


The central theme of the song is revealed in the chorus, "I've got a road map to heaven, and each road is a cross". This refers to the Christian belief that following Jesus Christ's example of selflessness, crucifixion, and resurrection is the way to eternal life in heaven. The use of the word "road map" is apt since it suggests a clearly defined path towards a destination, while the allusion to crosses highlights the sacrifices one must make to get there. The second stanza underscores this point by mentioning the crosswalk where Deliverance's life was bought, a reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which paved the way for salvation.


Overall, Deliverance's "Map" expresses a Christian worldview that emphasizes a life of sacrifice, dedication, and purposeful direction towards a better existence beyond the limitations of worldly distractions and desires.

I do deliverance and you don't have to be in person. I've done most of my deliverances over Skype, Zoom, Hangouts, etc. and it works just as effectively. God bless!

Toni Madison
