C#
A# poor orphan girl named Maria
C#
Was walking the market one day.
G#
She stopped for to rest by the road side
G#7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
C#
A# few moments passed till she saw it
C#
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
G#
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
G#
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
F#
She happily gave her last peso
C#
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
F#
She fed it loose corn from the market,
C#
And watched it grow stronger with time.
C#
Now the gift giving service was coming,
C#
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
G#
And all of the town folk brought presents,
G#7
To lay by the manger that night.
C#
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
C# G#
In packages fit for a king.
G#
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
G#7 C#
Maria had nothing to bring.
F#
She waited till just before midnight,
C#
So no one would see her go in.
F#
And crying she knelt by the manger,
C#
For her gift was unworthy of him.
D#
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
D# A#
"Maria what brings you to me?
A#
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
A#7 D#
Then open the door let me see."
D#
So she trembled and did as he asked her
D#
And out of the cage the bird flew,
A#
Soaring up into the rafters
A#7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
G#
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
D#
The little bird started to sing
G#
A# song that no words could recapture,
D#
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
D#
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
D#
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
A#
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
A#7
By the very first nightingale's song.
