Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My came from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 he immigrated from Japan
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 know why I have to tell it, but I know what it means
Close 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 like he 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 'First generation in the States'

everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs
But most of all of a homeland attack
And that when 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 soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew what it lead to
like he guessed, the President said
"The evil Japanese in our home will be locked away"
They Ken, a couple of days
To get his life packed in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't pack his clothes

Some didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they them
the kids asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody knew, what to say to them
Ken didn't wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for
So we have to live in a called Mandinar
Where a lot of Japanese 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 might get
than that, try not to think about 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 take
Because he's an innocent

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

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

He wanted them to live it down when they were
The only way out was, joinin' the
And supposedly, some men out for the army, signed 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 kids and his
But, when they got back to home
What saw made them feel so alone
people had trashed every room
Smashed in the windows and in the doors
Written on the walls and the floor 'Japs not anymore'

And Kenji both of his bags 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 names have been changed, but the story's
My family was up back in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And called it, an internment camp

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