She stopped for to rest by the roadside Where a bird with a broken wing lay. A few moments passed 'til she saw it, For its feathers were covered with sand. But soon clean and wrapped it was traveling In the warmth of Maria's small hand. She happily gave her last peso On a cage made of rushes and twine She fed it loose corn from the market And watched it grow stronger with time. Now the Christmas Eve service was coming And the church shone with tinsel and light And all of the townsfolk brought presents To lay by the manger that night There were diamonds and incense and perfumes In packages fit for a king. But for one ragged bird in a small cage, Maria had nothing to bring. She waited till just before mid-night So no one would see her go in And, crying, she knelt by the manger For her gift was unworthy of him. Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness, "Maria, what brings you to me? If the bird in the cage is your offering, Open the door, let me see." Though she trembled, she did as he asked her And out of the cage the bird flew Soaring up into the rafters On a wing that had healed good as new. Just then the midnight bells rang out And the little bird started to sing A song that no words could recapture Whose beauty was fit for a king Now Maria felt blessed just to listen To that cascade of notes sweet and long As her offering was lifted to heaven By the very first nightingale's song Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Thunder Rolls Long Version, The Thunder Rolls W3rd Verse, Thicker Than Blood, This Aint Tennessee, This Aint Tennessee, This Anit Tennessee, Thunder Rolls, To Make You Feel My Love, Two of a Kind, Workin on a Full House, Two Of A Kind Workin On A Full Horse, Two Of A Kind, Workin On A Full House, Two Pina Coladas, Two Pina Coladas, Two Pina Colladas, Unanswered Prayers, Unsigned Letter, Unto You This Night, Uptown Down Home Good Ol Boy, Uptown Down-home Good Ol Boy, Victim of the Game, Walking After Midnight, Way Of The Girl, We Bury the Hatchet, We Shall Be Free, What Child Is This?, What Shes Doing Now, What Shes Doing Now, When Theres No One Around, When Theres No One Around, When You Come Back To Me Again, When You Come Back to Me Agian, Which One of Them, White Christmas, White Flag, Why Aint I Running, Why Aint I Running, Wild As The Wind, Wild As The Wind (Duet with Trisha Yearwood), Wild As The Wind(The Duet With Trisha Yearwood)-Li, Wild Horses, Winter Wonderland, Wolves, Wrapped Up In U By Garth Brooks, Wrapped Up In You, You Move Me, Wild as the Wind, Beer Run (B-double E-double Are You In?), Squeeze Me In, A Cholesterine Mirror, Meaning of Life, Other Garth Brooks song Lyrics Zat You, Santa Claus?
