Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, you the story in the form of a dream
I don't why I have to tell it, but I know what it means
Close eyes, just 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
Bacon and eggs with and kids
He on the second floor of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. from
They called him
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
That 'First generation in the United States'

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

Pictures of soldiers dyin' and
Ken knew it would lead 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 whole packed in two bags
Just two bags, couldn't even pack his

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

Stop it, don't at the gunmen
You don't wanna get the wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run 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. and they just come to the house
And you have to all the Japanese have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did they have to him?
Because he's an labor

So now, they're in a town soldiers surroundin' them
Every day, every night, look down at
From watch up on the wall
Ken couldn't really hate 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?
Time passed in the prison

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

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

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his and just stood outside
He, looked at his without 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 was locked up back in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And they it, an internment camp

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