Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father came Japan in 1905
He was, 15 he immigrated from Japan
He, he, he worked until he was 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
your eyes, just picture the scene
As I it for you, it was World War II
When this man 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 he always did
Bacon and with wife and kids
He lived on the second floor of a store, he ran
He to L.A. from Japan
They him 'Immigrant'
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 most of all of a homeland attack
And that morning when Ken out on the doormat
His world went 'cause
Right there, front page news, three weeks 1942
"Pearl Harbour's bombed and the Japs are comin'"

Pictures of soldiers and runnin'
Ken knew what it would to
like he guessed, the President said
"The evil in our home country will be locked away"
gave Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole life 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 asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody even knew, what to say to
Ken didn't lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to in a place called Mandinar
a lot of Japanese people are"

Stop it, don't at the gunmen
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 worry 'bout it bein' so
Someday, get out, someday, 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 took Mr.Lee, didn't understand
Why did they have to take
he's an innocent labor

So now, in a town with soldiers surroundin' them
Every day, every night, look at them
From watch towers up on the
Ken really 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 troops in a basket his made
But in the of his mind, he wanted his families life saved
Prisoners of war in their own damn country, what
passed in the prison town

He them to live it down when they were free
The only way out was, joinin' the
And supposedly, some men went out for the army, 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 got back to their home
What saw made them feel so alone
These had trashed every 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 stood outside
He, looked at his wife without to say
She looked back at him, wiped the tears
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 and damp
And called it, an internment camp

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