My father came from Japan in 1905 He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan He he he worked until he was able to buy this patch And 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 was all they gave them When the kids asked mum 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 about it being so crowded Someday we'll get out someday someday As soon as war broke out
