Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the in the form of a dream
I don't why I have to tell it, but I know what it means
Close 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.

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

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

Pictures of dyin' and runnin'
Ken knew it would lead to
Just like he guessed, the President
"The evil Japanese in our home country be locked away"
gave Ken, a couple of days
To get his whole life packed in two
Just two bags, even pack his clothes

Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to 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 lie, he said, "The US is lookin' for spies
So we have to in a place called Mandinar
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 that, try not to think about it
Try not to worry 'bout it so crowded
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

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

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

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

He them to live it down when 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 Japan a bomb
That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war 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 got back to their home
What they saw made them feel so
These had trashed every room
Smashed in the and bashed in the doors
on the walls and the floor 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood
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 story's
My family was locked up in '42
My family was there it was and damp
And they called it, an camp

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