[00:06.86]My father came from Japan in 1905
[00:10.09]He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan
[00:13.54]He he he worked until he was able to buy this patch
[00:16.92]And build a store
[00:17.76]Let me tell you the story in the form of a dream
[00:19.88]I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means
[00:22.72]Close your eyes just picture the scene
[00:23.81]As I paint it for you it was World War II
[00:26.10]When this man named Kenji woke up
[00:27.65]Ken was not a soldier
[00:28.70]He was just a man with a family who owned a store in LA
[00:32.20]That day he crawled out of bed like he always did
[00:35.85]Bacon and eggs with wife and kids
[00:37.68]He lived on the second floor of a little store he ran
[00:40.54]He moved to LA from Japan
[00:42.14]They called him 'Immigrant '
[00:43.45]In Japanese he'd say he was called Esay
[00:45.92]That meant 'First Generation In The United States '
[00:49.37]When everyone was afraid of the Germans afraid of the Japs
[00:52.12]But most of all afraid of a homeland attack
[00:54.48]And that morning when Ken went out on the doormat
[00:57.09]His world went black 'cause
[00:58.49]Right there front page news
[01:00.28]Three weeks before 1942
[01:01.82]Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Comin'
[01:05.26]Pictures of soldiers dyin' and runnin'
[01:07.04]Ken knew what it would lead to
[01:08.69]Just like he guessed the President said
[01:10.76]The evil Japanese in our home country will be locked away
[01:13.49]
[01:14.86]They gave Ken a couple of days
[01:16.58]To get his whole life packed in two bags
[01:18.75]Just two bags couldn't even pack his clothes
[01:21.28]Some folks didn't even have a suitcase to pack anything in
[01:24.12]
[01:24.95]So two trash bags was all they gave them
[01:27.08]When the kids asked mum Where are we goin'
[01:29.31]Nobody even knew what to say to them
[01:31.49]Ken didn't wanna lie he said The US is lookin' for spies
[01:33.79]So we have to live in a place called Mandinar
[01:37.19]Where a lot of Japanese people are
[01:39.41]Stop it don't look at the gunmen
[01:41.00]You don't wanna get the soldiers wonderin'
[01:43.44]If you gonna run or not
[01:45.04]'Cause if you run then you might get shot
[01:46.88]Other than that try not to think about it
[01:48.88]Try not to worry 'bout it bein' so crowded
[01:51.17]Someday we'll get out someday someday
[01:54.24]
[01:56.04]As soon as war broke out
[01:57.49]The G I came and they just come to the house and
[02:01.32]You have to come
[02:02.51]All the Japanese have to go
[02:04.27]They took Mr Lee
[02:06.01]People didn't understand
[02:07.70]Why did they have to take him
[02:09.39]Because he's an innocent labourer
[02:11.45]So now they're in a town with soldiers surroundin' them
[02:13.66]Every day every night look down at them
[02:16.41]From watch towers up on the wall
[02:18.32]Ken couldn't really hate them at all
[02:20.21]They were just doin' their job and
[02:22.14]He wasn't gonna make any problems
[02:24.59]He had a little garden with vegetables and fruits that
[02:28.05]He gave to the troops in a basket his wife made
[02:30.12]But in the back of his mind he wanted his families life saved
[02:32.71]Prisoners of war in their own damn country
[02:35.48]What for
[02:36.03]Time passed in the prison town
[02:38.03]He wanted them to live it down when they were free
[02:40.62]The only way out was joinin' the army
[02:42.64]And supposedly some men went out for the army signed on
[02:46.32]And ended up flyin' to Japan with a bomb
[02:48.77]That 15 kilotonne blast put an end to the war pretty fast
[02:53.10]Two cities were blown to bits the end of the war came quick
[02:56.70]Ken got out big hopes of a normal life with his kids and his wife
[03:00.42]But when they got back to their home
[03:02.72]What they saw made them feel so alone
[03:04.91]These people had trashed every room
[03:06.66]Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors
[03:09.03]Written on the walls and the floor
[03:11.10]Japs not welcome anymore
[03:12.01]And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside
[03:16.66]He looked at his wife without words to say
[03:19.17]She looked back at him wiped the tears away
[03:21.46]And said Someday we'll be okay someday
[03:25.05]Now the names have been changed but the story's true
[03:27.33]My family was locked up back in '42
[03:29.53]My family was there it was dark and damp
[03:31.88]And they called it an internment camp
[03:34.34]When we first got back from camp uhh
[03:36.51]It was pretty pretty bad
[03:38.83]I I remember my husband said
[03:41.93]Are we gonna stay 'til last
[03:44.36]Then my husband died before they close the
[03:47.95]END
