Grace VanderWaal – Clay lyrics

The 12-year-old ukulele player, who had the honor of being the closing act, wowed everyone with a performance of her original song "Clay" on night one of the America's Got Talent finale.

And judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie and Mel B gave Vanderwaal a standing ovation with her self-penned tune.

Lyrics for songs "Clay"


You see a girl in the hallway
And then you whisper to your friend
Who is she anyway
You've forgotten what she looks like in like a day
But your words don't hurt me
I will be okay

Cause you don't hurt me
I won't hold onto

Your silly words
I won't live inside your world
Cause your punches and your names
All your jokes and stupid games
They don't work
And they don't hurt
Watch them just go right through me
Because they mean nothing to me

Try to change my shape
But baby I'm not clay
Sorry not today
Cause baby I'm not

Try to change my shape
But baby I'm not clay
Sorry not today
Cause baby I'm not clay

Your silly words
I won't live inside your world
Cause your punches and your names
All your jokes and stupid games
They don't hurt
No they don't hurt
Watch them just go right through me
Because they mean nothing to me

I'm not clay
