The first thing that comes to mind for uplifting prog is Yes. Also, a good deal of Mike Oldfield. And I guess even Rush have their share of uplifting music.

Me as well!!  Jon Anderson's lyrics can be very inspirational!  

Even when he is melancholy (To Be Over), he is amazing to me! 

I also get VERY uplifted by the first three Queen LPs!  They were amazing then!

I had never really listened to Big Big Train before this weekend. I think I listened a few tracks in the car, thought "kinda typical modern prog" but listening to WELCOME TO THE PLANET and really digging it.

Thanks for the recommendation.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Yeah, his lyrics... if you can make sense out of them... but even without considering his lyrics, just his voice, and the chorus, and the music in general with it's sypmphonic grandness. I mean, only Anderson could sing "Kill them, burn their children's laugheter" and sound angelical.

When I say uplifting prog i always think of that release : If you enjoy Yes and Big Big Train :
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

I get a similar reaction to Magma's Felicite Thosz.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

Yôkaï might offer a good remedy. From their album Coup de grâce, Mascotte:


or their selftitled first album, Plutonia:
