Tekst piosenki

My father came from Japan in 1905

He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan

He worked until he was able to buy - to actually build a store


Let me tell you the story in the form of a dream

I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means

Close your eyes, just picture the scene

As I paint it for you, it was World War II

When this man named Kenji woke up

Ken was not a soldier

He was just a man with a family who owned a store in LA

That day, he crawled out of bed like he always did

Bacon and eggs with wife and kids

He lived on the second floor of a little store he ran

He moved to LA from Japan

They called him "Immigrant"

In Japanese, he'd say he was called "Issei"

That meant "First Generation In The United States"

When everyone was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the Japs

But most of all afraid of a homeland attack

And that morning when Ken went out on the doormat

His world went black 'cause

Right there, front page news

Three weeks before 1942

"Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Coming"

Pictures of soldiers dying and running

Ken knew what it would lead to

Just like he guessed, the President said

"The evil Japanese in our home country will be locked away"

They gave Ken, a couple of days

To get his whole life packed in two bags

Just two bags, couldn't even pack his clothes

Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in

So two trash bags is all they gave them

When the kids asked mom: "Where are we going?"

Nobody even knew what to say to them

Ken didn't wanna lie, he said: "The US is looking for spies,

So we have to live in a place called Manzanar,

Where a lot of Japanese people are"

Stop it don't look at the gunmen

You don't wanna get the soldiers wondering

If you gonna run or not

'Cause if you run then you might get shot

Other than that try not to think about it

Try not to worry 'bout it, being so crowded

Someday we'll get out, someday, someday


As soon as war broke out

The F.B.I. came and they just come to the house and

"You have to come

All the Japanese have to go"

They took Mr. Ni

People didn't understand

Why did they have to take him?

Because he's an innocent laborer


So now they're in a town with soldiers surrounding them

Every day, every night look down at them

From watch towers up on the wall

Ken couldn't really hate them at all

They were just doing their job and

He wasn't gonna make any problems

He had a little garden with vegetables and fruits that

He gave to the troops in a basket his wife made

But in the back of his mind, he wanted his families life saved

Prisoners of war in their own damn country

What for?

Time passed in the prison town

He wanted them to live it down when they were free

The only way out was joining the army

And supposedly, some men went out for the army, signed on

And ended up flying to Japan with a bomb

That 15 kilo tonne blast, put an end to the war pretty fast

Two cities 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 wife

But when they got back to their home

What they saw made them feel so alone

These people had trashed every room

Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors

Written on the walls and the floor

"Japs not welcome anymore."

And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside

He looked at his wife without words to say

She looked back at him wiping tears away

And said: "Someday we'll be okay, someday"

Now the names have been changed, but the story's true

My family was locked up back in '42

My family was there it was dark and damp

And they called it an internment camp


When we first got back from camp... uhh

It was... pretty... pretty bad


I, I remember my husband said

"Are we gonna stay 'til last?"

Then my husband died before they close the camp
