Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 he immigrated from Japan
He, he, he worked until he was able to buy patch
And build a

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

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

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

Pictures of soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew what it lead to
Just he guessed, the President said
"The evil in our home country will be locked away"
They gave Ken, a of days
To get his whole packed in two bags
Just two bags, even pack his clothes

folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they 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 look at the
You don't get the soldiers wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run then you might get
than that, try not to think about it
Try not to 'bout it bein' so crowded
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 all the Japanese have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did they have to him?
Because he's an innocent

So now, in a town with soldiers surroundin' them
Every day, night, look down at them
From watch towers up on the
Ken couldn't hate them at all
were just doin' their job and
He gonna make any problems

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

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

Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, with his kids and his
But, when they got back to home
What they saw made feel so alone
These people had trashed room
Smashed in the and bashed in the doors
Written on the and the floor 'Japs not welcome 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 away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have been changed, but the story's
My family was locked up in '42
My family was there it was dark and
And they called it, an camp

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