Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he from Japan
He, he, he worked until he was able to buy this
And a store

Let me, tell you the story in the form of a
I don't know why I have to tell it, but I know what it
your eyes, just picture the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When man named Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was a man, with a family, who owned a store in L.A.

That day, he crawled out of bed he always did
Bacon and eggs with and kids
He lived on the floor of a little store, he ran
He to L.A. from Japan
They him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, say, he was called, Esay
That meant 'First generation in the States'

When was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs
But most of all afraid of a attack
And morning when Ken went out on the doormat
His world went black
Right there, front page news, three before 1942
"Pearl Harbour's been bombed and the are comin'"

Pictures of soldiers dyin' and
Ken knew what it would to
Just like he guessed, the said
"The evil in our home country will be locked away"
They Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole life packed in two
Just two bags, couldn't even his clothes

Some folks didn't even a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they gave
When the asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody even knew, what to say to
Ken didn't wanna lie, he said, "The US is for spies
So we have to live in a called Mandinar
a lot of Japanese people are"

Stop it, don't look at the
You don't wanna get the soldiers
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run then you get shot
Other than that, try not to about it
Try not to worry 'bout it so crowded
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

As as war broke out
The G.I. came and they come to the house
And you have to come all the Japanese to go
took Mr.Lee, people didn't understand
Why did they to take him?
Because he's an innocent

So now, they're in a town soldiers surroundin' them
day, every night, look down at them
From watch up on the wall
Ken couldn't really them at all
were just doin' their job and
He gonna make any problems

He had a little garden, with vegetables and fruits
He to the troops in a basket his wife made
But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families life
Prisoners of war in own damn country, what for?
Time passed in the town

He wanted them to live it down they were free
The only way out was, joinin' the
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And ended up flyin' to with a bomb
That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war fast
Two cities were to bits, the end of the war came quick

Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, with his and his wife
But, when got back to their home
What they saw made feel so alone
people had trashed every room
Smashed in the windows and in the doors
Written on the and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his at his sides and just stood outside
He, at his wife without words to say
She looked back at him, the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the have been changed, but the story's true
My family was locked up in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And they it, an internment camp

When we got back from camp, uhh
It was pretty, pretty bad, I, I remember my husband
"Are we gonna 'til last?"
Then my husband before they close the camp
