Robert Long (real name Bob Leverman) has made a few nice 'light' songs in addition to a large number of socially critical ones. This song has always stayed with me. If it disagrees with me, I'll look for this song on Youtube.
Sometimes a born optimist also has to get a confirmation that he has it right, right?

Especially for anyone who can use a mental boost in this special time.


You know what my mother used to say
if I was in a bad mood

Child (my mother always said)
Remember (my mother always said)
Whatever you do (my mother always said)
You have to look at life positively
So (my mother always said)
Remember my advice (my mother always said)
Don't get mad (my mother always said)
If it doesn't go the way you'd like

Because a man is more beautiful when he laughs
And even if it's another dark night
If you look for a moment, you will always see a very small point of light
(You can force the course of things, no other way)
All life is a long line of changes

Hey (my mom always said)
It's not easy (my mother always said)
Then say okay (my mother always said)
And let yourself be in peace with the stream
Because (my mother always said)
Time goes fast (my mother always said)
Use her (my mother always said)
Make every count if you can


Because a man is more beautiful when he laughs
And even if it's another dark night
If you look for a moment, you will always see a very small point of light
(You can force the course of things, no other way)
All life is a long line of changes

Look (my mother always said)
An optimist (my mother always said)
Who is mistaken (my mother always said)
Who has certainly suffered less from tears
Then a chacherine (my mother always said)
Such a bottle of vinegar (my mother always said)
Who can never find anything nice or nice or beautiful

Because a man is more beautiful when he laughs
And even if it's another dark night
If you look for a moment, you will always see a very small point of light
(You can force the course of things, no other way)
All life is a long line of changes

Child (this is what) (see my mother always)
Remember (what my mother used to be) (my mother used to say)
Whatever you do (always said like me) (my mother always said)
You have to look at life positively (had a bad mood)
Hey (this is what) (my mom always said)
Don't bother (my mother used to) (my mother used to say)
Then say okay (always said as I) (my mother always said)
And let yourself be in peace with the stream (had a bad mood)
Look (lalalala) (my mother always said)
An optimist (lalajapalala) (my mother always said)
Who is mistaken (lalalala) (my mother always said)
Who has definitely suffered less from tears (lalalala)
Then a chacherine (lalalala) (my mother always said)
Such a bottle of vinegar (lalajapalal) (my mother always said)
Who can never find anything nice or nice or beautiful (lalalala)
Child (lalalala) (my mother always said)
Time goes fast (lalajapalala) (my mother always said)
Use her (lalalala) (my mother always said)
Make every count if you can...
