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