    That doesn't scan. Rephrase:

    But what else could ever be,
    save me and me and me and me?

    Response:

    Only that which we can see
    Only if what we see can be
    By the eye or by the mind
    If it's there for us to find

    To be saved, one must reach out
    To be shared
    It must be dared
    That is what it's all about
