Chris Martin and the Coldplay gang have penned a special song for Houston

The guys of Coldplay are honoring their fans in Houston, who are greatly impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. Coldplay has penned a new song about Houston and dedicated it to their fans in the city.

Coldplay were scheduled to perform in Houston just hours before the hurricane but had to cancel that show due to the oncoming storm. During a show Monday night (Aug. 28) in Miami, Coldplay performed a track called “Houston.”

“This is because we all grew up loving country music, and of course that’s kind of what we think of when we go to Texas,” Martin said at the show. “So, if you’ll bear with us, this is a new song and we’ll never play this again. It’s a one-off and it’s called ‘Houston.’”

“We’re gonna sing it in Miami for everybody here,” Martin added, “and we’re gonna send it over there to everyone who missed the show (in Houston).”

No word yet on a Coldplay make-up date in Houston.

Below are the lyrics to “Houston” via the Houston Chronicle:

“I’m dreamin’ of when I get back to Houston,
I’m dreamin’ of that very special place,
I’m dreamin’ of when Houston has no problems,
In that city where they send you into space,
I’m dreamin’ of when I get back to Texas,
Corpus Christi, Harris County, Galveston,
There’s a harmony that bonds down there in Houston,
Oh, Houston, you got to keep on keepin’ on,
From Miami, we are sending love to Houston,
We’re praying that you make it through the rain,
I know nothing’s gonna break the will of Houston,
Oh, how we can’t wait to go down there again,
I am dreamin’ of when I get back to Texas,
Corpus Christi, Harris County, Galveston,
There’s a harmony that bonds down there in Houston,
Oh, Houston you got to keep on keepin’ on,
Oh, Houston you got to keep on keepin’ on,
Yea, Houston got to keep on keepin’ on.”
