1982 (55th Annual Awards, 49th Best Song)
Best Song Lyric


Up Where We Belong
Who knows what tomorrow brings;
In a world, few hearts survive?
All I know is the way I feel;
When it’s real, I keep it alive.
The road is long.
There are mountains in our way,
But we climb a step ev’ry day.

Love lift us up where we belong,
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high.
Love lift us up where we belong,
Far from the world we know;
Up where the clear winds blow.

Time goes by, no time to cry,
Life’s you and I, alive today.

Love lift us up where we belong,
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high.
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know;
Where the clear winds blow.

Some hang on to “used-to-be,”
Live their lives looking behind.
All we have is here and now;
All our life, out there to find.
The road is long.
There are mountains in our way,
But we climb them a step every day.
