Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the story in the of a dream
I don't know why I have to tell it, but I know what it
Close your eyes, picture the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When this man named Kenji 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 with and kids
He lived on the floor of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. Japan
called him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
That meant 'First generation in the States'

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

of soldiers dyin' and runnin'
Ken knew what it 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 life in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't even his clothes

Some folks didn't even a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all gave them
When the kids mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody knew, what to say to them
Ken wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to live in a called Mandinar
Where a lot of Japanese are"

Stop it, don't at the gunmen
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 'bout it bein' so
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

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

So now, they're in a town soldiers surroundin' them
Every day, every night, look down at
watch towers up on the wall
Ken really hate them at all
They just doin' their job and
He wasn't gonna 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 life saved
Prisoners of war in own damn country, what for?
Time passed in the town

He them 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 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 and his wife
But, when they got back to their
What they saw made them feel so
These people had every room
Smashed in the and bashed in the doors
Written on the walls and the floor 'Japs not anymore'

And Kenji dropped of his bags at his sides and just stood outside
He, looked at his wife without 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 family was up back in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And they called it, an internment

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