DeLoi is the songwriter and main character, and we see her having flashbacks to moments from her childhood with her dad. Della Valle plays DeLoi\u2019s father, singing to a younger Nicole (played by her daughter). It&#8217;s a circle of protection for the most precious thing in the world \u2013 showing how the unconditional love a parent has for a child transcends generations. The goal of the video, simply put, is to tug on your heartstrings &#8211; whether you\u2019re a parent or someone who has lost a parent &#8211; so be prepared for some happy tears.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the video for &#8216;God Bless You &amp; Protect You&#8217;:<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_73067\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4loM4r2PUjY?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Owls &amp; Lions - God Bless You &amp; Protect You (Lullabye Version) Official Music Video\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4loM4r2PUjY\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find Owls &amp; Lions on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.OwlsandLions.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owls &#038; Lions aren&#8217;t just your usual wedding band.
