1
A poor orphan girl named Maria
2
Was walking to market one day
3
She stopped for a rest by the roadside
4
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
5
A few moments passed till she saw it
6
For it's feathers were covered with sand
7
But soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
8
In the warmth of Maria's small hand
9
She happily gave her last peso
10
On a cage made of rushes and twine
11
She fed it loose corn from the market
12
And watched it grow stronger with time
13
Now the Christmas Eve service was coming
14
And the church shone with tinsel and light
15
And all of the townfolk brought presents
16
To lay by the manger that night
17
There were diamonds and incense and perfumes
18
In packages fit for a king
19
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
20
Maria had nothing to bring
21
She waited till just before midnight
22
So no one could see her go in
23
And crying she knelt by the manger
24
For her gift was unworthy of Him
25
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
26
Maria, what brings you to me
27
If the bird in the cage is your offering
28
Open the door, let me see
29
Though she trembled, she did as he asked her
30
And out of the cage the bird flew
31
Soaring into the rafters
32
On a wing that had healed good as new
33
Just then the midnight bells rang out
34
And the little bird started to sing
35
A song that no words could recapture
36
Whose beauty was fit for a king
37
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
38
To that cascade of notes sweet and long
39
As her offering was lifted to heaven
40
By the very first nightingale's song
