    Lyrics To: Let's Go Fly A Kite
    Let's Go Fly a Kite
    Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

    Let's go fly a kite
    Up to the highest height
    Let's go fly a kite
    And send it soaring

    Up through the atmosphere
    Up where the air is clear
    Oh, let's go fly a kite
    Let's go fly a kite!

    Poetry:

    High Flight:

    Written by a Second World War pilot killed in his Spitfire in 1941. He was a pilot officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force named J. G. Magee. This sonnet was made famous in 1986 when President Reagan quoted the first and last lines when broadcasting after the space shuttle Challenger disaster.

    Why do we fly kites? ... perhaps this sonnet holds the answer!
