I think the song means that we live in a world of change (in a host of things that grow), a world where time passes (babies become old), and of failure, moral difficulty and corruption where even notions as pure as love can be commodified and stripped of their beauty. In this world, you have to find a sense of peace (or flow), to not be rendered cynical, angry or paralyzed by those states of the world that are unsuitable.
In "falling" into the mouth of God, the song gives an alternative. The "falling" imagery implies surrender, passivity, giving over and the mouth imagery implies a smile - as if contentment and peace wait for you in the giving over. The mouth is wide because there's enough room for all of us and the song invites us to fall in together.
