Is there a way to change the color of an svg and a a link simultaneously when hovering?

Hello,

I am trying to change the color (using CSS) of my inline svg and span at the same time when I hover my mouse over either one. I can get it to work when I hover over the svg but not when I hover over the span. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<li>

         <!------- Navigation Heart -------->

          <a href="#"> <svg version="1.1" id="nav-icon" class="heart" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
 viewBox="0 0 28 24" style="enable-background:new 0 0 28 24;" xml:space="preserve">

<style type="text/css"> .st0{fill:#39ADD1;} </style> <path class="st0" d="M28,7.1C28,4.2,25.5,0,20.7,0C15.8,0,14,6.6,14,6.6S12.2,0,7.3,0C2.5,0,0,4.2,0,7.1c0,2.1-0.6,3.7,4.2,8.7 C6.3,18,9.7,19.7,14,24c4.3-4.3,7.8-6,9.8-8.1C28.6,10.9,28,9.2,28,7.1z"/> </svg> <span> Home </span> </a> </li>

Figured it out!

Here's the code I used in case anyone else runs into the same issue:

header nav ul li:hover #nav-icon path { fill: #111; }
