Lyrics

VERSE 1:
In the digital dance of web design, my friend
SC 1.4.10 shows the way
When content grows, lines should gracefully bend
Not forcing users to scroll both ways
Text should reflow within the viewport’s embrace
Three-twenty pixels wide, that’s all we need
For those with low vision, it creates a space
Where reading flows with comfort, not with speed

CHORUS:
Let it reflow, let the content breathe
Single direction scrolling is what we need
Zoom in close, the text still fits the screen
Accessibility isn’t just a dream
Let it reflow, like waves upon the shore
That’s what Reflow Criterion is for

VERSE 2:
Tables and maps, they follow different rules
Their two dimensions carry special weight
But all other content needs flexible tools
To adapt and transform at any rate
When users zoom to four hundred percent
Your design should flex, not break apart
Fixed headers step aside with good intent
Making space for content is digital art

CHORUS:
Let it reflow, let the content breathe
Single direction scrolling is what we need
Zoom in close, the text still fits the screen
Accessibility isn’t just a dream
Let it reflow, like waves upon the shore
That’s what Reflow Criterion is for

BRIDGE:
Design with care, with everyone in mind
Some need bigger text to see what’s there
When content wraps, no one gets left behind
It’s not just rules—it shows how much we care
Inclusion matters in the digital space
Let’s build a web where everyone belongs
