    The Poseidon Adventure (novel)

    The Poseidon Adventure is an American adventure novel by Paul Gallico, published in 1969. It concerns the capsizing of a luxurious ocean liner, the S.S. Poseidon, due to an undersea earthquake that causes a 99 ft. wave, and the desperate struggles of a handful of survivors to reach the bottom of the liner's hull before the ship sinks.

    Plot summary

    Formerly the RMS Atlantis, the SS Poseidon is a luxury ocean liner from the golden age of travel, converted to a single-class, combination cargo-cruise liner. The ship is on her maiden voyage in the North Atlantic with the new company, celebrated with a monthlong Christmas voyage from Lisbon to African and South American ports. On December 26, the Poseidon is overturned when it has the misfortune of being directly above the location of an undersea earthquake. The ship capsizes as it falls into the sudden void caused by the quake displacing millions of gallons of seawater.

    Starting from the upper deck dining room, preacher Reverend Frank "Buzz" Scott leads a small group of (often unwilling) followers towards the keel of the ship, trying to avoid the rising water level and other such hazards. Those stuck within the dining saloon are unwilling to follow the Reverend, and stay behind.

    The Adventure

    by: Angels & Airwaves

    I wanna have the same last dream again
    The one where I wake up and I'm alive
    Just as the four walls close me within
    My eyes are open up with pure sunlight
    I'm the first to know
    My dearest friends
    Even if your hope has burned with time
    Anything that is dead shall be re-grown
    And your vicious pain, your warning sign
    You will be fine
    Hey oh here I am
    And here we go
    Life’s waiting to begin
    Any type of love it will be shown
    Like every single tree reach for the sky
    If you're gonna fall
    I'll let you know
    That i will pick you up
    Like you for i
    I felt this thing
    I can't replace
    When everyone was working for this goal
    Where all the children left without a trace
    Only to come back as pure as gold
    To recite this all
    Hey oh here I am
    And here we go
    Life’s waiting to begin
    Tonight
    Hey oh here I am
    And here we go
    Life’s waiting to begin
    Tonight
    Hey oh here I am
    And here we go
    Life’s waiting to begin
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    I can not live
    I can’t breathe
    Unless you do this with me
    Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
    Here we go
    Life's waiting to begin (do this with me)
    Hey oh, here I am (do this with me)
    Here we go
    Life's waiting to begin
