New Horizons by The Moody Blues
One of the most uplifting and loveliest ballads I've ever heard.

Revelation Road by Manning was the first one that came into my mind.

Awaken indeed must be among the very top places, if not the very first. And in general, I find many songs from Yes to have this quality. I must add "Histoires Sans Parole" from Harmonium, too. And perhaps even some Mike Oldfield, Ommadawn pt 1 would be the first suspect, I guess. Oh yeah, and I'm just listening to Iamthemorning, songs from that band should be considered too.

here are just a few that come to mind Benedictus by Strawbs Northern Lights by Renaissance (but indeed there are several tracks from that album - A Song for all Seasons - that seem life affirming to me) Never Let Go by Camel

The title track of Triumvirat's Spartacus album-a thrilling journey and rousing finale! Makes me want to go outside and tell the world about it, everytime I hear it.

Awaken certainly gets my vote. I defy anyone to listen to it and not have his/her heart lifted.

Odd as it may sound (considering the circumstances under which it was composed), Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom is one of the most life-affirming albums I can think of. I always found the liner notes particularly uplifting.

Thank you Mr. Lawnmower!  Northern Lights by Renaissance! The only true prog/pop song that I like and always makes me smile!
