Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

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

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

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

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

Some didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all gave them
When the kids mum, "Where are we goin'?"
even knew, what to say to them
Ken didn't lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to live in a place Mandinar
Where a lot of people are"

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

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

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

He had a garden, with vegetables and fruits that
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 their own damn country, what
Time passed in the town

He wanted them to live it down when were free
The only way out was, joinin' the
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And ended up flyin' to Japan a bomb
15 kilotonne 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 of a normal life, with his kids and his wife
But, when they got back to home
What they saw made them so alone
These people had trashed room
Smashed in the windows and bashed in the
Written on the walls and the floor not welcome anymore'

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

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