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 patch
And a store

Let me, tell you the story in the form of a
I don't know why I have to it, but I know what it means
Close eyes, just picture the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When this man named 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 of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. Japan
They called him
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 attack
And that morning when Ken out on the doormat
His world black 'cause
Right there, front news, three weeks before 1942
"Pearl been bombed and the Japs are comin'"

Pictures of soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew it would lead to
like he guessed, the President said
"The evil Japanese in our country will be locked away"
They gave Ken, a of days
To get his whole packed 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 they gave
When the asked 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 place Mandinar
Where a lot of people are"

Stop it, don't look at the
You don't wanna get the wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run you might get shot
Other that, try not to think 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 just come to the house
And you have to come all the Japanese to go
They Mr.Lee, people didn't understand
Why did they have to him?
Because he's an labor

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

He had a little garden, vegetables and fruits that
He gave to the troops in a his wife made
But in the of his mind, he wanted his families life saved
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, for?
passed in the prison town

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

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

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just outside
He, looked at his without words to say
She back at him, wiped the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have been changed, but the true
My family was up back in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
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 died they close the camp
