Letra actual de la canción
'My father came from Japan in 1905. He was fifteen when he immigrated <br />From Japan. He worked until he was able to buy-to actually build a store.' <br /> <br />Let me tell you a story in the form of a dream <br />I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means <br />Close your eyes and just picture the scene/as I paint it for you <br />It was World War II when this man named Kenji woke up <br />Ken was not a soldier/he was just a man with a family <br />Who owned a store <br />In LA/that day <br />He crawled out of bed like he always did <br />Bacon and eggs with wife and kids/he lived on the <br />Second floor of a little store he ran he moved to LA from <br />Japan they called him immigrant/in Japanese <br />He'd say he was called iisei/that meant <br />First generation in the united states when <br />Everybody was afraid of the Germans/afraid of the 'japs' <br />But most of all afraid of a homeland attack <br />And that morning when ken went out on the doormat <br />His world went black 'cause <br />Right there/front page news <br />Three weeks before 1942 <br />Pearl Harbor's been bombed and 'the japs are coming' <br />Pictures of soldiers dying and running <br />Ken knew what it would lead to <br />And just like he guessed/the president said <br />The 'evil Japanese' in our home country would be locked away <br />They gave ken a couple of days <br />To get his whole life packed into two bags <br />Just two bags <br />He couldn't even pack his clothes <br />And some folks didn't even have a suitcase <br />To pack anything in <br />So two trash bags is all they gave them <br />And when the kids asked mom/where are we going <br />Nobody even knew what to say to them <br />Ken didn't want to lie <br />He said the US is looking for spies <br />So we have to live in a place called manzanar <br />Where a lot of Japanese people are <br />Stop it/don't look at the gunmen <br />You don't wanna get the soldiers wondering <br />If you're gonna run or not 'cause if you run then you might get shot <br />Other than that/try to not think about it <br />Try not to worry 'bout it being so crowded <br />Cause someday we'll get out/someday/someday <br /> <br />'Yeah, soon as war broke out, the F.B.I. came and' they just come to the house <br />And, you have to come. All the Japanese have to go. They took Mr.Ni, the people <br />Couldn't understand, why did they have to take him because he's just an innocent laborer'' <br /> <br />So now they're in a town with soldiers surrounding them <br />Every day night/looked down at them <br />From watchtowers up on the wall <br />Ken couldn't really hate them at all <br />They were just doing their job and <br />He wasn't gonna make any problems <br />He had a little garden/vegetables and fruits that he have to the troops <br />In a basket his wife made <br />But in the back of his mind he wanted his family's life saved <br />Prisoners of war in their own damn country <br />What for? <br /> <br />And time passed in the prison town/he wondered <br />If he'd live it down if and when they were free <br />The only way out was joining the army/and supposedly <br />Some men went out for the army/signed on <br />And ended up flying to Japan with a bomb <br />That 15 kiloton blast put an end to the war pretty fast <br />Two cities were blown to bits <br />The end of the war came quick <br />And ken got out <br />Big hopes of a normal life with his kids and his wife/but <br />Then they got back to their home/and <br />What they saw made him feel so alone <br />These people had trashed every room <br />Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors <br />Written on the walls and the floor: <br />'Japs not welcome anymore' <br />And Kenji dropped both his bags at his sides and just stood outside <br />He looked at his wife without words to say <br />And she looked back at him wiping tears away <br />And said someday we'll be okay/someday <br />Now the names have been changed but the story's true <br />My family was locked up back in '42 <br />My family was there <br />Where it was dark and damp <br />And they called it an 'internment camp.' <br /> <br />'When we first got back from camp, it was pretty bad.' <br />'I remember my husband said, 'oh, we're going to stay 'til last.' <br />Then my husband died before they closed the camp.'
