Assonance is the literary term for words that have the same vowel sound and thereby have a sometimes imperfect rhyme. An example might be the words steep and heat. Both words have the same "E" sound as the vowel and can be poetically connected because of that fact. Assonance can also be applied in instances when consonants are similar but the vowels are not identical in sound. An example of that might be the use of an "M" to pull words together poetically. Think a "hymn" in his "name." The consonants are not the same so it really doesn't rhyme, but you can see the relation and in a song this sort of relation works.
