Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My came from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he from Japan
He, he, he until 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 to tell it, but I know what it means
your 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, 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 on the second floor of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. Japan
They him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
meant 'First generation in the United States'

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

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

Some folks didn't have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they them
When the kids mum, "Where are we goin'?"
even 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 place Mandinar
a lot of Japanese people are"

Stop it, look at the gunmen
You don't get the soldiers wonderin'
If you run or not,
if you run then you might get shot
Other than that, try not to think it
Try not to worry 'bout it so crowded
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 have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did they to take him?
he's an innocent labor

So now, in a town with soldiers surroundin' them
day, every night, look down at them
From towers up on the wall
Ken couldn't really them at all
were just doin' their job and
He gonna 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 back of his mind, he his families life saved
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, for?
passed in the prison town

He wanted them to it down when they were free
The way out was, joinin' the army
And supposedly, some men 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 came

Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, his kids and his wife
But, when they got back to home
What they saw made them feel so
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 at his sides and just stood outside
He, looked at his without words to say
She looked back at him, wiped the tears
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the have been changed, but the story's true
My was locked up back in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And they called it, an camp

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