It's a word everyone uses โ€” which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Songwriters who arrive looking for what rhymes with powers find the same uneven map: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: perfect-rhyme territory is narrow, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous.

Why powers rhymes the way it does

The phonology of powers is a two-syllable core: the /ษœหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษœหr/), then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 38, assonance 3,405, and consonance 670. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With powers, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
