Broadway - "the Matthew 25 song" by Sherri Youngward, from the "Faces, Memories, Places" album.
Lyrics:
Silently she watches as the cars go by
The minutes turn to hours
And she tries not to cry
It seems no one remembered to come take her home
Its been years now
Still she waits alone
A young boy begs for money
On the corner of the street
I see him almost everyday
But our eyes never meet
I wonder where you came from
I wonder where youll go
I wonder if you disappeared
If anyone would know
You were hungry
You were thirsty
You were lonely
And afraid
You were crying
And no one heard you
You were dying and no one came
Ill never forget you
Your face is etched in my mind
You held out your hand
And I just tossed you a dime
Sitting on the sidewalk
With those eyes so blue
Id give anything for another chance
Just to talk to you
(Chorus)
Father forgive me I know not what I do
When I walk through this life
When I walk right by you
These faces and memories, these places Ive been
Lord, help me to see You when I see them again
(Chorus)

Beautiful song. Maybe it's just me, but her voice sounds 98 per cent like Julianne Regan (singer of the [non-Christian] band All About Eve).
