In "Mission Of Love," Randy Travis returns to a part of town he avoids, driven by their little girl who keeps calling for her mother. He finds her with another man and admits he hates what she has become, yet he still asks the stranger to let her go because their child needs her tonight. The repeated image of little tears turns his resentment into a painful errand, where love means showing up despite the hurt.
Mission Of Love Lyrics by Randy Travis
I know you’re wondering just what I’m doing
I’m here on a mission of love
I never come down to this side of town
But I’m here on a mission of love
Our little girl is calling your name
I’ve held her, but she only wants you
And although I hate what you’ve become
Little tears brought me here on a mission of love
I don’t know this man you’re holding on to
But I know what he’s got on his mind
But if he’s got a heart, darling, he’ll let you go
Somebody else needs you tonight
Our little girl is calling your name
I’ve held her, but she only wants you
And although I hate what you’ve become
Little tears brought me here on a mission of love
God knows I hate what you’ve become
Little tears brought me here on a mission of love
Little tears brought me here on a mission of love
