Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the story in the of a dream
I know why I have to tell it, but I know what it means
Close your eyes, picture 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, with a family, who owned a in L.A.

That day, he crawled out of bed he always did
Bacon and eggs with wife and
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,
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 when Ken went out on the doormat
His went 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 would to
Just like he guessed, the President
"The Japanese in our home country will be locked away"
gave Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole life packed in two
two bags, couldn't even pack his clothes

Some folks didn't even a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two trash bags, was all gave them
When the kids mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody even knew, to say to them
Ken didn't wanna lie, he said, "The US is for spies
So we have to live in a place called
Where a lot of Japanese are"

Stop it, look at the gunmen
You don't get the soldiers wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run then you might get
Other that, try not to think about 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 have to come all the have to go
They Mr.Lee, people didn't understand
Why did have to take him?
Because he's an innocent

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

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

He wanted them to live it down when they free
The only way out was, the army
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And up flyin' to Japan with a bomb
That 15 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 and his wife
But, when they got to their home
What they saw them feel so alone
These people had every room
in the windows and bashed in the doors
Written on the and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his at his sides and just stood outside
He, at his wife without words to say
She back at him, wiped the tears 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 internment

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