Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the in the form of a dream
I don't know why I have to tell it, but I know what it
Close eyes, just picture the scene
As I paint it for you, it was War II
When this man Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was just a man, with a family, who owned a in L.A.

That day, he crawled out of bed like he did
Bacon and eggs wife and kids
He lived on the floor of a little store, he ran
He moved to L.A. from
They called him
In Japanese, say, he was called, Esay
That meant 'First generation in the United

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

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

Some folks even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all they gave
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 for spies
So we have to live in a place Mandinar
a lot of Japanese people are"

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

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

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

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

He wanted them to live it down when they free
The way out was, joinin' the army
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 were to bits, the end of the war came quick

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

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and stood outside
He, looked at his without words 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 locked up in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And called it, an internment 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 close the
