Has a prog song ever brought you to tears?

A few. I can't remember all of them, but each time probably coincides with me really getting into a band.  Latimer's playing on songs like Ice and Stationary Traveler often come close. Shine on You Crazy Diamond did once around the time of Syd's death, as well as Obscured by Clouds did recently :(. Sigur Ros is great, the vocals can be very emotional if you are "into" the song.
Although I don't often cry because of songs, they are often very emotional to me. GY!BE is breath takingly beautiful. My entire list could include every band I like, so I'll just leave it at that.

Few times. The ending to SFAM by Dream Theater is the most memorable. I cry almost every time I listen to that album. Other than that, few songs make me cry. Scenes just has an incredible story, and captivates me like no other.

I remember crying to Borknagar's 'Epic' album, just out of sheer amazement. I was about 13, to be fair. I don't remotely see it as one of my favourite albums now, but back then it was top of my world.

Amen. Took the words out of my mouth.

First time I listened to the whole "Tormato" by Yes, tears just flooded as I thought "I paid a tenner for this crap..."

Some Yes, early Genesis, and a couple of tracks by Esperanto...

Usually guitar parts/solos but not the songs themselves:

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (solo - P.U.L.S.E. version especially), On The Turning Away (solo)
Marillion - Easter (solo), Sugar Mice (solo and I guess the song too), The Great Escape (solo)
Genesis - Firth Of Fifth section from Old Meldy (I don't know what it is but it just sounds so powerful and so good I wanna cry)

Musically because I don't normally listen to sings for their lyrics.

a lot of times when Ilisten to Pink Floyd's - Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Wish You Were Here, Brain Damage and especially Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Atom Heart Mother!

Kevin Gilbert's The Shaming of the True, with 'Starting into nothing' and 'Water under the bridge'... This album has been my favorite for many years, and the only that made me cry once...

One time while liestening to "Jerusalem". There is a synth line right after Lake sings "Bring me my bow".... then the line appears... "of burning gold"  right after that another line bursts from the speakers. It's impressive and highly emotional.
