A
F# poor orphan girl named Maria
A
Was walking the market one day.
E
She stopped for to rest by the road side
E7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
A
F# few moments passed till she saw it
A
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
E
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
E
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
D
She happily gave her last peso
A
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
D
She fed it loose corn from the market,
A
And watched it grow stronger with time.
A
Now the gift giving service was coming,
A
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
E
And all of the town folk brought presents,
E7
To lay by the manger that night.
A
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
A E
In packages fit for a king.
E
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
E7 A
Maria had nothing to bring.
D
She waited till just before midnight,
A
So no one would see her go in.
D
And crying she knelt by the manger,
A
For her gift was unworthy of him.
B
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
B F#
"Maria what brings you to me?
F#
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
F#7 B
Then open the door let me see."
B
So she trembled and did as he asked her
B
And out of the cage the bird flew,
F#
Soaring up into the rafters
F#7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
E
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
B
The little bird started to sing
E
F# song that no words could recapture,
B
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
B
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
B
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
F#
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
F#7
By the very first nightingale's song.
