[Verse 1] In a clinic where healing begins today A therapist watches how patients move and sway Every step and gesture needs to be tracked down Labanotation writes it all without a sound She documents the shoulder's limited reach Records the way the injured ankle speaks From baseline assessment to recovery's end These movement symbols help the body mend [Chorus] Cross the lines between the fields we know Laban's language helps the knowledge grow Therapy, workplace, and machines that learn Every discipline can take a turn Movement notation spans from art to science Breaking boundaries with movement guidance [Verse 2] In the factory where workers lift and bend Ergonomics experts study every trend Are the motions causing strain upon the back Laban symbols show what movements we should track They analyze the reach, the twist, the flow Finding safer ways for bodies to go Efficiency and safety hand in hand Written down in symbols across the land [Chorus] Cross the lines between the fields we know Laban's language helps the knowledge grow Therapy, workplace, and machines that learn Every discipline can take a turn Movement notation spans from art to science Breaking boundaries with movement guidance [Bridge] Robots learning how to walk like us Animators bringing life without a fuss Anthropologists preserving sacred dance Sign language researchers given a chance [Verse 3] From the culture's ritual passed down through time To the athlete perfecting their perfect climb Every field that studies how we move our frame Finds in Laban's system they can stake their claim [Final Chorus] Cross the lines between the fields we know Laban's language helps the knowledge grow Seven fields united by one voice Movement notation gives them all a choice From therapy to robots learning new Labanotation works for me and you [Outro] Movement speaks a universal tongue In every field this song gets sung
