Luyện nghe bài hát Kenji

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

Let me, tell you the story in the of a dream
I don't know why I have to tell it, but I know what it
Close your eyes, just the scene
As I paint it for you, it was War II
this man named Kenji 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 with wife and kids
He lived on the second floor of a store, he ran
He moved to L.A. Japan
called him 'Immigrant'
In Japanese, say, he was called, Esay
That 'First generation in the United States'

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

of soldiers dyin' and runnin'
Ken knew it would lead to
Just he guessed, the President said
"The evil Japanese in our home will be locked away"
They gave Ken, a couple of
To get his whole life packed in two
two bags, couldn't even pack his clothes

Some folks even have a suitcase, to pack anything in
So two bags, was all they gave them
the kids asked mum, "Where are we goin'?"
Nobody knew, what to say to them
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 wanna get the wonderin'
If you run or not,
'Cause if you run then you might get
Other than that, try not to think it
Try not to worry 'bout it bein' so
Someday, we'll get out, someday,

As soon as war out
The G.I. and they just come to the house
And you have to all the Japanese have to go
They took Mr.Lee, people understand
Why did have to take him?
he's an innocent labor

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 hate them at all
They just doin' their job and
He gonna 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 of his mind, he wanted his families life saved
Prisoners of war in their own country, what for?
Time passed in the town

He wanted them to live it down when 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 with a
That 15 kilotonne blast, put an end to the war fast
Two cities were to bits, the end of the war came quick

Ken got out, big of a normal life, with his kids and his wife
But, when they got back to their
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 'Japs not welcome anymore'

And dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside
He, looked at his 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 story's
My family was locked up in '42
My family was it was dark and damp
And they called it, an internment

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