D
B poor orphan girl named Maria
D
Was walking the market one day.
A
She stopped for to rest by the road side
A7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
D
B few moments passed till she saw it
D
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
A
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
A
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
G
She happily gave her last peso
D
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
G
She fed it loose corn from the market,
D
And watched it grow stronger with time.
D
Now the gift giving service was coming,
D
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
A
And all of the town folk brought presents,
A7
To lay by the manger that night.
D
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
D A
In packages fit for a king.
A
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
A7 D
Maria had nothing to bring.
G
She waited till just before midnight,
D
So no one would see her go in.
G
And crying she knelt by the manger,
D
For her gift was unworthy of him.
E
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
E B
"Maria what brings you to me?
B
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
B7 E
Then open the door let me see."
E
So she trembled and did as he asked her
E
And out of the cage the bird flew,
B
Soaring up into the rafters
B7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
A
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
E
The little bird started to sing
A
B song that no words could recapture,
E
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
E
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
E
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
B
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
B7
By the very first nightingale's song.
