"I saw on the ubiquitous CNN, a piece on a visit to Nepal by HRH The Prince of Wales a couple of years ago. He was touched and appalled by the plight of returning child prostitutes from the streets of Bombay. I had visited a wild cat sanctuary at about the same time and decided to combine both sentiments in the song Sanctuary for the Secret Language Of Birds album. The first part of the song is on the subject of the little girls (and boys): the second on the plight of the small wild cats of the world, often rejected by private and zoological keepers. Well, aren't I a big softie, then?"
