Doctor Mirabilis

verse1

Yo, let me take you back to the year twelve-one-nine,
In Ilchester, where the stars align,
Roger Bacon, the man, on a mission for facts,
A Franciscan friar, that's how he acts.

verse2

Studied at Oxford, got that knowledge in his mind,
Moved to Paris, where the truth he would find,
Doctor Mirabilis, a title so true,
Pushing boundaries, breaking right through.

chorus

Doctor Mirabilis, knowledge on the grind,
Experimental science, he’s ahead of his time.
Mathematics and optics, he knew the score,
Invented lenses and gunpowder, opening doors.

verse3

6:00 AM classes, waking up the dawn,
Teaching all the students, man, he was the one!
Criticized the order, he spoke his truth clear,
But those in power weren’t really keen to hear.

verse4

House arrest for a while, but he didn’t give in,
Innovator spirit, he was born to win.
Friends with Pope Clement, they shared a connection,
Talking science over dinner, that was the direction.

bridge

From lenses to alchemy, he paved the way,
Understanding nature, night and day.
Roger, the legend, through history he’ll stride,
The world of science, he opened wide.

chorus

Doctor Mirabilis, knowledge on the grind,
Experimental science, he’s ahead of his time.
Mathematics and optics, he knew the score,
Invented lenses and gunpowder, opening doors.

outro

So here’s to Roger, who stood strong and tall,
In the realm of knowledge, he inspired us all.
Each fact, each theory, taught us to see,
Doctor Mirabilis, forever will be.
