[00:00.30] A poor orphan girl named Maria
[00:05.64] was walking the market one day
[00:10.71] she stopped for to rest by the road side
[00:15.81] where a bird with a broken wing laid
[00:21.03] a few moments passed till she saw it
[00:25.47] for it\'s feathers were covered with sand
[00:30.49] and soon clean and rapped it was traveling
[00:35.45] in the warmth of Maria\'s small hand
[00:40.81] she happily gave her last paso
[00:45.24] of a cage made of freshes and twine
[00:50.08] she fed it loose corn from the market
[00:54.91] watched it grow stronger with time
[00:59.26] now the gift giving service was coming
[01:04.28] and the chruch arm with tinsel and light
[01:09.39] an\' all of the town folk brought presents
[01:14.09] to lay by the manger that night
[01:18.46] there were diamonds, incents and perfumes
[01:23.42] and packages fit for a king
[01:28.04] but for one raged bird in his small cage
[01:32.98] Maria had nothing to bring
[01:37.87] she waited till just before midnight
[01:42.64] so no one would see her go in
[01:47.31] and crying she knelt be the manger
[01:51.80] for her gift was unworthy of him
[01:56.81] then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
[02:01.44] Maria what brings you to me
[02:06.33] if the bird in the cage is your offering
[02:11.39] open the door let me see
[02:15.75] so she trembled she did as he asked her
[02:20.56] an\' out of the cage the bird flew
[02:25.41] soaring up into the rafters
[02:29.85] on a wing that would feel good just new
[02:35.14] an\' just as the midnight bells rang out
[02:39.41] and the little bird started to sing
[02:44.29] a song that no words could recapture
[02:48.84] for its beauty was fit for a king
[02:53.37] now Maria felt blessed just to listen
[02:58.50] to the cascade a note sweet and long
[03:03.10] as her offering was lifted to heaven
[03:07.87] by the very first night in Gales song
[03:18.41]
[03:19.53] -End-
