Help me remember this song/memory

I’ve exhausted Google, YouTube and ChatGBT and also asked my cousin who I was close to growing up and they can’t remember. This has bugged me for years.

My dad had a VHS tape of recorded MTV songs and these were recorded in the 1980s. I loved this tape and sung and danced to the songs. It had Bon Jovi, Rick Astley, Kylie Minouge etc.

However, there was a song or maybe even a commercial/advert that was on this tape which I liked. From my memory it was set in a desert or beach and it was a lady singing to her daughter and the lyrics I remember are this: mumma said now don’t you cry, everything’s gonna be alright…my love will see you through.

I’ve been searching for this song/memory for years and I can’t find it nor can my dad recall it. I wondered if I’ve completely made this up or does someone remember. I’d love to know if it’s a song and watch the music video/commercial again to see if my memory serves me correctly.

Sweetbox - 'Everything's gonna be alright'?

Sadly no 😢 but what I remember had the same sort of vibe (if what I’m even remembering is real!)

Mama Said by Kim Appleby?

@PunchUpInPoplar Yes!!! This is it, thank you! I’ve been searching for years and could never find it. Just watched the video on YouTube and it’s how I remember, I feel like I’ve been transported back in time. I knew Mumsnet would give the right answer 🥰

Bette Midler wind beneath my wings fits the description of the video but not the lyrics
