Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the story in the form of a
I don't know why I have to tell it, but I what it means
Close your eyes, picture the scene
As I paint it for you, it was War II
When this man named 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 he always did
and eggs with wife and kids
He lived on the second of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. from
They called him
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
That meant 'First in the United States'

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

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

Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to anything in
So two trash bags, was all gave them
When the kids 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 have to live in a place Mandinar
a lot of Japanese people are"

Stop it, don't look at the
You don't wanna get the 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 'bout it so crowded
Someday, get out, someday, someday

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

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

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

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

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

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his 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 was locked up back in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And they called it, an camp

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