"Neverland Landing" lyrics shared by @GYWOOM

[Verse 1]
Rainbow skies and crystal streams
Butterflies and birds, flying free from tree to tree
Warming sun and cooling breeze
Life is fun with all these wonders
Come feel it, see it, love it, be it

[Verse 2]
Where you stand is magic ground
Neverland is great
Like a slice of paradise
Let your senses take control
Life commences once it's in your soul

Feel it (Feel it), love it (love it), see it (see it), be it

[Chorus]
Come get your own full share, not any less
Feel like a millionaire, not penniless
This is the land where joy and happiness never grow old

[Verse 3]
Gentle showers sprinkle down
Making flowers bloom, what a sight, a real delight
Nature's gift you can't ignore
Spirits lift and hearts begin to soar

Feel it (Feel it), see it (see it), love it (love it), be it

[Chorus]
Take in your own full share, not any less
Feel like a millionaire, not penniless
This is the land where joy and happiness never grow old

[Chorus]
Take in your own full share, not any less
Feel like a millionaire, not penniless
This is the land where joy and happiness

Come on and feel it (feel it), see it (see it), love it (love it), be it (be it)

Feel it (see it), see it

[Outro]
Welcome to Neverland
Wow...

To make a concise note of the new information contained within @Stefano MJS extended Mexico Deposition (around 3:45:00 onwards):

- Michael didn't like Baby Be Mine very much; it made the Thriller album because he was outvoted by Quincy and Rod, who preferred it to Hot Street.

- Michael loved Hot Street, calling it a "hit song" that has never been released. Michael wanted it on Thriller, but Rod was not a huge fan of his own work in this instance and voted against it's inclusion

- Michael didn't like Rolling the Dice, hence it not making the Thriller album.

- We already knew that Thank You For Life shares the same chords as The Girl Is Mine - Lucy is in Love with Linus also shares the same chords (I think this is new info)

If there's anything I've missed, or anything anyone else notices that is new info please let us know

And I want to slam these two but I can’t truthfully. It was good choices the whole way around. Not nearly as egregious as Quincy not liking Smooth Criminal.

Michael also said, many of the songs mentioned were written for OTW.
 
I find it funny how at some point during the deposition, Michael says “Burn This Disco Out…something like that.”

Like it’s not his own song from one of his albums lol. I guess that might be another one he was not especially fond of.
There’s a lot of very poor recollection on Michael’s part during the deposition, assumedly due to the effects of what he was going through at the time. He’s constantly referred to his October 1989 deposition, where he seems to have been a lot sharper in remembering songs and dates

Nevertheless, you’re right that he never tried to hide his distaste for certain songs lol
 
Buxer was not going to be a hit maker. The music is nice, but it's not anything that was going to get MJ back on top of the charts.

Will.I.Am, RedOne, Ne-Yo, that was the best bet to get him back with hits.
It's a real shame we haven't heard anything from these seasons yet. I'd be incredibly interested to hear what the demos from will.i.am and Red One sounded like; that's honestly what interests me most.

It was like 20 years ago to be fair. I wouldn’t remember my own lore that hard.
 
What a lovely way to go
Pre-OTW

Not sure if it was known. Definetly not a Thriller related song though. Released on Thriller 40.

Edit: At least written prior Off the Wall
