acoustic driven Poetry to music. about the ups and downs of life and love
I was born Aaron Lee Lewis in Gallipolis, Ohio, New Years Eve. When adopted by my stepfather that changed my last name to Morris. However on the web I go by Aarion Lee. All through-out my school career I was involved in vocal music, and was even in a few different musical play productions for my first stage experience in high school. After joining the United States Army in 1980. I picked up my first guitar in 1981 but didn't start playing seriously until 1984 after one of my friends showed me a scale and couple of power chords. I was pretty much self taught from then on out. I was learning to play to bands like Jimi Hendrix, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Boston, Deep Purple, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, & Ozzy just to name a few. my guitar skills were tested everyday and I practiced anywhere from 6 to 10 hours a day. I started writing poetry and started my first band in 1983 playing cover songs, and have been in numerous cover bands throughout the years. Jamming on stage with ex-members of Columbus based rock band The Godz, and Money in my first original/cover band Araknid. Opening up for touring club band Warcylde on numerous occasions in my second cover/original band Blacke Thorne. Then in the third and final cover/original band Murder One, the bass player Mike Davis was killed in a car crash one week before our first gig. This devastated me, since Mike was a close friend, he had been in a few bands with me through-out the years. So I continued to write my own material, lyrics as well as music, vowing never to play cover songs again. due to a pact that Mike and I had made before he died. with well over 200 poems and lyrics, in 1997 I submitted some of my lyric works to the International Poets Society. I was nominated for Poet Of The Year that same year and have been nominated for the same honor every year since to this date. As well as receiving numerous editors choice awards, and being inducted into the International Poets Hall Of Fame, I have been published in various anthologies by the International Poets Society as well as a few of the Best Poets And Poems Of The Year Anthologies, Who's Who In Poetry Anthology. I have also been published by Famous Poets and Noble House Publishing in the U.K. In the year 2001 due to a change in careers, I decided it was time to get back into the music scene even though I had been writing and recording material on my own, it was time to start another band, my vision, all originals no cover songs, so was born. even though we recorded a complete album and was getting world-wide reckognition on Mp3.com, I couldn't seem to keep the other members focused on my vision. So after 3 line-ups I decided to promote the music myself. . I also started a new project Koalition page and will be remixed and mastered and released through

Story behind the song
I wrote this song out on the road driving tractor trailers. It was getting close to Christmas and I was stuck in New York (I think) (may have been Pa.) in a snow storm. After finishing the song I got on the CB and read it to the other drivers at the truck stop. I got alot of good comments on the poem. this song is poetry to music. Except for the end, there is not one repeating verse of chorus.. If this song reaches #1 I will set it for free download. Thanks
Lyrics
Tree In The Window The lights are strung around the house As they brighten up the darkest night But the tree in the window looks kind of bare Nothing but an angel and some lights The trimmings lie in a box Waiting for daddy to come home Hopefully by Christmas Eve The garland and bulbs will be hung The presents are wrapped under the tree All the Christmas shopping is done Nothing left but to trim the tree All the presents there but one A present from daddy to mommy He’ll make it home with any luck Daddy’s delivering other presents You see daddy drives a truck A month goes by daddy's still on the road Christmas only two days away A call comes late in the night It’s daddy he is on his way Christmas Eve and daddy's still not home He should come rolling in, about any time The phone rings and mommy's face turns white Daddy jackknifed his rig somewhere down the line It seems a car had cut him off Coming down a West Virginia mountainside When he slammed on his brakes he went into a skid And they say he is lucky to be alive Daddy is now in the hospital critical condition in intensive care As his family rushes to his side Hoping he will know that they are there A time goes by, still no change And mommy has never left his side She prays to God for him to wake up So they can get on with their life Then one night daddy makes a sound And the tears flow from mommy’s eyes Daddy is now awake and doing fine Then they realize: The tree in the window will be trimmed soon enough And the nightmare has come to an end Joy to the family with the answered prayer That God sent daddy back to them again
