Maybe This Can Heal
You can pass the buck.
You can cut a deal.
You can count on luck. But this cannot heal.
You can pass the bar.
You can win appeal.
You can shoot a star. But this cannot heal.
You can pass the test.
You can prove ideal.
You can beat the best. But this cannot heal.
You can pass the rout.
You can give a spiel.
You can use the clout. But this cannot heal.
You can pass the fare.
You can wolf a meal.
You can get life-care. But this cannot heal.
You can pass the love.
You can truly feel.
You can plead above. Maybe this can heal.
