Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he immigrated Japan
He, he, he worked he was able to buy this patch
And build a

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

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

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

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

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

Stop it, look at the gunmen
You don't get the soldiers wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run you might get shot
Other than that, try not to about it
Try not to 'bout it bein' so crowded
Someday, get out, someday, someday

As as war broke out
The G.I. came and they come to the house
And you to come all the Japanese have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did have to take him?
Because he's an labor

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

He had a little garden, with and fruits that
He gave to the troops in a basket his wife
But in the back of his mind, he his families life saved
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, what
passed in the prison town

He wanted to live it down when they were free
The only way out was, the army
And supposedly, some men went out for the army, on
And ended up flyin' to Japan a bomb
That 15 blast, put an end to the war pretty fast
Two were blown 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 they got to their home
What they saw made feel so alone
people had trashed every room
Smashed in the windows and bashed in the
Written on the and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and stood outside
He, looked at his wife words to say
She looked back at him, wiped the away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have been changed, but the true
My family was locked up in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And they called it, an camp

When we first got back camp, uhh
It was pretty, bad, I, I remember my husband said
"Are we gonna stay last?"
Then my husband died before they the camp
