Is the sentence " Let me try your life enhance" a proper inversion ?

Hi.

I am a composer, and while trying to create my lyrics, I had a problem. I needed a word that rhymes with chance, and found enhance. In order to keep enhance at the end of the verse, I had to inverse " Let me try to enhance your life" to " Let me try your life enhance". Is this a right inversion in terms of grammar ?

My take... I have seen lyrics of many songs and I know that composers take -- shall I call it 'lyrical licence '? -- I mean, they don't follow grammatical rules very strictly in some of their lines.

Sorry, but no. Actually, you'd probably do better to find something that's not inverted.
