Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came from in 1905
He was, 15 he immigrated 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
Close your eyes, just picture the
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 owned a 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
They called him
In Japanese, say, he was called, Esay
That meant 'First in the United States'

When was afraid of the Germans, afraid 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 said
"The evil Japanese in our country will be locked away"
They gave Ken, a couple of
To get his whole life in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't pack his clothes

Some folks even 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, what to say to
Ken didn't wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for
So we to live in a place called Mandinar
Where a lot of people are"

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

As soon as war out
The G.I. and they just come to the house
And you have to come all the Japanese to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did they have to take
Because he's an labor

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

He had a little garden, with vegetables and that
He to the troops in a basket 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 them to live it down they were free
The only way out was, the army
And supposedly, some men went out for the army, on
And ended up flyin' to with a bomb
That 15 blast, put an end to the war pretty 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 got back to their home
What they saw made them feel so
people had trashed every room
Smashed in the windows and in the doors
on the walls and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside
He, looked at his wife words to say
She looked back at him, the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have changed, but the story's true
My family was locked up in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And they called it, an internment

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