Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came from Japan in
He was, 15 he immigrated from 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 don't know why I have to tell it, but I what it means
Close your eyes, just the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When this man Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was a man, with a family, who owned a store in L.A.

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

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 black
Right there, front page news, three weeks 1942
"Pearl Harbour's been and the Japs are comin'"

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

Some folks didn't have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all gave them
the kids 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 place called
Where a lot of Japanese are"

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

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

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

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

He wanted them to live it down when were free
The way out was, joinin' the army
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And ended up to Japan with a bomb
That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war pretty
Two cities were blown to bits, the end of the war 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 them feel so alone
people had trashed every room
Smashed in the and bashed in the doors
on the walls and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and stood outside
He, at his wife without 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 story's
My was locked up back in '42
My family was there it was dark and
And called it, an internment camp

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