Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

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 the scene
As I paint it for you, it was War II
When this man named woke 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 and kids
He lived on the 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 meant 'First generation in the United

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

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

Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack in
So two bags, was all they gave them
When the kids 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 have to live in a place called
Where a lot of people are"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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