G
E poor orphan girl named Maria
G
Was walking the market one day.
D
She stopped for to rest by the road side
D7
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
G
E few moments passed till she saw it
G
For it's feathers were covered with sand.
D
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
D
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
C
She happily gave her last peso
G
For a cage made of rushes and twine.
C
She fed it loose corn from the market,
G
And watched it grow stronger with time.
G
Now the gift giving service was coming,
G
And the church shone with tinsel and lights,
D
And all of the town folk brought presents,
D7
To lay by the manger that night.
G
There were diamonds and incense and perfume
G D
In packages fit for a king.
D
But for one ragged bird in a small cage,
D7 G
Maria had nothing to bring.
C
She waited till just before midnight,
G
So no one would see her go in.
C
And crying she knelt by the manger,
G
For her gift was unworthy of him.
A
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness:
A E
"Maria what brings you to me?
E
If the bird in the cage is your offering,
E7 A
Then open the door let me see."
A
So she trembled and did as he asked her
A
And out of the cage the bird flew,
E
Soaring up into the rafters
E7
On a wing that had healed good as new.
D
And just as the midnight bells rang out,
A
The little bird started to sing
D
E song that no words could recapture,
A
For it's beauty was fit for a king.
A
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
A
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
E
As her offering was lifted to heaven,
E7
By the very first nightingale's song.
