This is "Hold On", a song from the album of the same name. A version of the orginal recording is on YouTube also.
The Hold On album was recorded mostly in North Carolina in 2003, and a little bit in NYC. My friend Eric told me it was his favorite track on the album. Could be cuzza the stripped-down arrangement, or the bare emotions. I don't remember, but it may be how I named the album.

Hold on
Find another day to cry
Hold on
We need this time
No, don’t deny your feelings
More so, hold them close
Hold my hand
I need you here to keep me bold and strong
So I can keep what I hold dear
Chords: C GM7 (3x), Am D C D Am D G
The studio album is available at:
- Bandcamp (recommended)
- Apple Music
- Spotify
- Amazon Music
- Google Music
Since so much of the world is on lockdown now, musicians with no gigs are also hoping to get paid for their work somehow. Buying the album is the best way to show support. Also, I have set up a Tip Jar, should you feel inclined.
