What does よう at the end of the sentences mean?


I know that "verb without masu + よう" expresses one's will to do something or
stimulating other person to do something.

But while I was trying to translate [the lyrics to Hitoshizuku by Nobuhiko
Okamoto](http://down.hangame.co.jp/movie/pc/easy/kamihaji/lyrics/hitoshizuku.pdf),
I found this:

> いつの日かぬくもりに触れる **よう**  
>  祈り捧げ ただよう

Can someone explain to me what it means here?




You have two different よう's here.

> いつの[日]{ひ}かぬくもりに[触]{ふ}れる **よう**
>
> [祈]{いの}り[捧]{ささ}げ ただ **よう**

触れるよう = 触れるように = " **so that** I could touch", " **hoping to** touch". The
よう（に） expresses one's purpose or goal.

ただよう = [漂]{ただよ}う = "to drift", "to wander". The よう just happens to be the
ending of the verb ただよう in its dictionary form.

"Hoping to touch the warmth one day, I offer up prayers and drift about."
