Last Friday night, rock band Coldplay was forced to cancel its show in Houston as Hurricane Harvey approached Texas. On Monday night in Miami, the band let the fans know how much they've been thinking about everyone affected by the devastation on the other side of the Gulf. Performing at at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, frontman Chris Martin said, "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." He continued, "This is a new song and we'll never play this again. It's a once-off and it's called 'Houston.' We're going to sing it in Miami for everybody here and we're going to send it over there to everyone who missed the show that we're going to go back and finish."

Here are the lyrics:
"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."
