Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

My father from Japan in 1905
He was, 15 when he from Japan
He, he, he worked until he was able to buy patch
And build a

Let me, tell you the story in the form of a
I don't know why I to tell it, but I know what it means
Close your eyes, just the scene
As I paint it for you, it was War II
When this man named Kenji up
Ken was not a
He was just a man, a family, who owned a store in L.A.

That day, he out of bed like 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. from
called him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, he'd say, he was called,
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, page news, three weeks before 1942
"Pearl Harbour's been and the Japs are comin'"

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

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

it, don't 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 'bout it so crowded
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

As as war broke out
The G.I. came and they just come to the
And you have to all the Japanese have 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 with soldiers them
Every day, night, look down at them
From watch towers up on the
Ken couldn't really them at all
They just doin' their job and
He wasn't make any problems

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 his families life saved
of war in their own damn country, what for?
Time in the prison town

He wanted them to live it when they were free
The way out was, joinin' the army
And supposedly, men went out for the army, signed on
And ended up flyin' to with a bomb
15 kilotonne 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 kids and his
But, when they got back to their
What they saw made feel so alone
These people had trashed room
in the windows and bashed in the doors
Written on the walls and the floor not welcome anymore'

And Kenji both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside
He, at his wife without words to say
She looked at him, wiped the tears away
And, said, "Someday, be okay, someday"
Now, the have been changed, but the story's true
My family was up back in '42
My was there it was dark and damp
And called it, an internment camp

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