Sisters Who Serve
©Written by Nikkea B. Devida
Because of you, I am free
To pursue my liberty
I owe you my gratitude
My heart goes out to all of you
I see the sacrifices that you make
The risks you take, your life at stake
I thank you… for all that you’ve done
Your battles lost and your battles won
Oh, there is one thing that I have learned
Honor has no price, it’s only earned
CHORUS
Our sisters who serve (I see you ‘n I thank you)
Sisters who serve (I salute you, stand by you)
Sisters who serve (I see you ‘n I thank you)
Sisters who serve (I salute you, I remember you)
I’ve got your back, ‘cause you’ve got mine
They’ll be no woman left behind
I believe in you
To the edge I’ll go for you
I stand by you when you need a crutch
You’re not alone, not on my watch
Veterans, active, or reserve
I salute you, my sisters who serve
Oh, there is one song that I have sung
Freedom has no price, it’s only won
CHORUS
Our sisters who serve (I see you ‘n I thank you)
Sisters who serve (I salute you, stand by you)
Sisters who serve (I see you ‘n I thank you)
Sisters who serve (I salute you, I remember you)
And to my sisters (and brothers) who fall
With your life, you risk it all
Your hero’s journey is now through
You uphold and defend… right to your own end (right to your own end)
I’ll remember you
I’ll remember you
Oh, angels come in many forms
Sister, you earned… that uniform
CHORUS
Our sisters who serve (We see you ‘n we thank you)
Sisters who serve (We salute you, stand by you)
Sisters who serve (We see you ‘n we thank you)
Sisters who serve (We salute you, we remember you)
Our sisters who serve (We see you ‘n we thank you)
Sisters who serve (We salute you, stand by you)
Sisters who serve (We see you ‘n we thank you)
Sisters who serve (We salute you, we remember you)
About Nikkea B. Devida
Nikkea B. Devida is a 1986 US Air Force Academy graduate who served as an officer responsible for negotiating and managing nearly $200 million dollars of defense contracts…at the age of 22.
Then she honed her business, project management, and operational skills with companies like Disney, Macmillan Publishing, and many others.
As a result of a severe eating disorder, bulimia, Nikkea was hospitalized for 4 months and medically discharged from the Air Force in 1990. After pursuing all the traditional methods of treatment, she explored complimentary and holistic treatments. Virtually none of them worked until she learned about the power of the subconscious mind and changing subconscious beliefs. When she learned how to change her own subconscious beliefs, the symptoms of her eating disorder decreased in 6 weeks. That got her attention, and is what ultimately led to her being an entrepreneur where she now teaches her breakthrough system to others. She now has her own speaking, training and consulting business helping other women entrepreneurs who are making a positive difference in the world with their expertise, gifts, and talents. Nikkea is known as an “Accelerated Results Business Mentor” because if it needs to be organized, systemized, and monetized, she’s is your “go to” resource for simple, effective tools and breakthrough systems to get clear, get “unstuck”, and get fast results that last.
Nikkea also has a vision to raise $1 million for Women Veterans through her non-profit foundation, especially those experiencing PTSD and those who want to become entrepreneurs. As a singer/songwriter herself, she wrote and recorded a song called “Sisters Who Serve” for this purpose. She recently did a debut performance of the song to honor veterans to a live audience of 1000 people.
Her vision is for Sisters Who Serve to be a collaborative effort among military, civilian, and veteran women entrepreneurs, leaders and professions who combine forces, talents, and skills together to support each other to have successful businesses, careers and lives.
