Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he immigrated Japan
He, he, he until he was able 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 tell it, but I what it means
Close your eyes, just picture the
As I it for you, it was World War II
When man named Kenji woke up
Ken was not a
He was just a man, with a family, who owned a in L.A.

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

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 went black 'cause
there, front page news, three weeks before 1942
"Pearl Harbour's been and the Japs are comin'"

Pictures of soldiers dyin' and
Ken what it would lead to
Just like he guessed, the said
"The evil Japanese in our home country be locked away"
They Ken, a couple of days
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 trash bags, was all they gave
the kids asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody even knew, to say to them
Ken wanna lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we to live in a place called Mandinar
Where a lot of 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 then you might get
Other than that, try not to think it
Try not to 'bout it bein' so crowded
Someday, get out, someday, someday

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

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

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

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

Ken got out, big hopes of a normal life, his kids and his wife
But, they got back to their home
they saw made them feel so alone
These people had trashed every
Smashed in the windows and bashed in the
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, the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the names have been changed, but the story's
My family was up back in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And called it, an internment camp

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