Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the story in the form of a
I don't know why I have to it, but I know what it means
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, a family, who owned a store in L.A.

That day, he crawled out of bed like he did
Bacon and eggs with wife and
He on the second floor of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. Japan
They called him
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
That meant generation in the United States'

When everyone was 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 world went black
Right there, front page news, three before 1942
"Pearl Harbour's been and the Japs are comin'"

Pictures of soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew it would lead to
Just he guessed, the President said
"The evil Japanese in our country will be locked away"
They Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole life in two bags
Just two bags, even 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'?"
even knew, what to say to them
Ken wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to in a place called Mandinar
Where a lot of people are"

Stop it, don't at the gunmen
You don't wanna get the soldiers
If you run or not,
if you run then you might get shot
Other than that, try not to think it
Try not to 'bout it bein' so crowded
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

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

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

He had a little garden, with and fruits that
He gave to the troops in a basket his made
But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families saved
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, for?
Time in the prison town

He wanted them to live it down when they free
The only way out was, the army
And supposedly, some men out for the army, signed on
And up flyin' to Japan with a bomb
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 they got to their home
they saw made them feel so alone
These people had trashed 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 sides and just stood
He, at his wife without words to say
She looked back at him, wiped the 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 family was it was dark and damp
And they called it, an internment

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